Résumé

People living with HIV (PLWH) have a high burden of comorbidities and concomitant medication use. The aim of this study was to analyse the prevalence, predictors and patterns of polypharmacy (PP) in a large therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) registry. We searched our TDM registry and categorized co-medications into 26 drug classes. We included patients with at least one medication recorded: PP and severe polypharmacy (sPP) were defined as the concomitant use of ≥5 or ≥10 nonantiretroviral/nonantitubercular drugs. Multivariable binary logistic analysis were conducted for identifying PP/sPP predictors. A hierarchical average-linkage cluster analysis was performed among drug classes. We included 2432 participants (1158 PLWH) aged 49.6 years (± 14.4) in the 2016-2020 period. A higher number of concomitant medications (4 vs 3.1, P < .001) and a higher prevalence of PP (26.1% vs 21.8%, P = .015) were recorded in controls. At multivariable binary logistic analysis older age, female gender and HIV-positive serostatus (P = .015) were independent predictors of PP; older age and year of inclusion were independent predictors of sPP. Cluster analysis showed that patients receiving oral drug for type 2 diabetes have a high probability of receiving several other drugs; a cluster of co-medications was observed with opioids, diuretics and central nervous system-affecting drugs. We observed a moderately high prevalence of polypharmacy in middle-aged PLWH: advanced age and female gender were associated with the greatest prevalence. The observation of co-medication clusters suggests groups of comorbidities but also identifies groups of patients at risk of similar drug-to-drug interactions.
