Incidence of lung and human papilloma virus-associated malignancies in HIV-infected patients.

Objective: Cancers represent one of the leading cause of mortality/morbidity in patients with HIV (PWH) in industrialized countries. The objective of our study was to compare incidence of lung and human papilloma virus (HPV)-related cancers among PWH with general population over the 2010-2017 period.

Design: Prospective and multicenter cohort study.

A Low Level of Darunavir Resistance-Associated Mutation Emergence in Patients With Virological Failure During Long-term Use of Darunavir in People With HIV. The ANRS CO3 Aquitaine Cohort.

Background: Ritonavir-boosted darunavir (DRV/r) is a protease inhibitor (PI) indicated for the treatment of naïve and pretreated HIV-infected patients since 2007. Our study aims to describe DRV/r-treated patients experiencing virological failure (VF) documented with HIV resistance testing.

Methods: Data from patients belonging to the ANRS CO3 Aquitaine Cohort treated with a regimen including DRV/r between February 2007 and December 2015 were analyzed.

Assessing the psychometric properties of the French WHOQOL-HIV BREF within the ANRS CO3 Aquitaine Cohort's QuAliV ancillary study.

Background: Antiretroviral therapy has prolonged the lives of those with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), but the effects of chronic infection on their health-related quality of life (HRQoL) remain a concern. Numerous instruments have been developed to measure HRQoL, yet evidence of their cross-cultural equivalence and continued applicability is limited. We adapted the WHOQOL-HIV BREF to French and assessed its psychometric properties in a sample of community-dwelling adults living with HIV who were mostly virally suppressed.

Emulating a trial of joint dynamic strategies: An application to monitoring and treatment of HIV-positive individuals.

Decisions about when to start or switch a therapy often depend on the frequency with which individuals are monitored or tested. For example, the optimal time to switch antiretroviral therapy depends on the frequency with which HIV-positive individuals have HIV RNA measured. This paper describes an approach to use observational data for the comparison of joint monitoring and treatment strategies and applies the method to a clinically relevant question in HIV research: when can monitoring frequency be decreased and when should individuals switch from a first-line treatment regimen to a new regimen? We outline the target trial that would compare the dynamic strategies of interest and then describe how to emulate it using data from HIV-positive individuals included in the HIV-CAUSAL Collaboration and the Centers for AIDS Research Network of Integrated Clinical Systems.

Serum suppression of tumorigenicity 2 level is an independent predictor of all-cause mortality in HIV-infected patients.

Objective: To evaluate the predictive value of soluble suppression of tumorigenicity 2 (sST2), a decoy receptor of IL-33 involved in several inflammatory and immune diseases, for death in HIV infection.

Design: Patients enrolled in the ANRS CO3 Aquitaine Cohort, a prospective hospital-based cohort of HIV-1-infected patients, who had a plasma sample available in the biobank were systematically eligible.

Methods: sST2, soluble CD14 (sCD14) and IL-6 were measured using Luminex multiplex bead-based technology (R&D Systems) and a Bio-Plex 200 instrument (BioRad).

Incidence and Risk Factors for Severe Bacterial Infections in People Living with HIV. ANRS CO3 Aquitaine Cohort, 2000-2012.

Severe non-AIDS bacterial infections (SBI) are the leading cause of hospital admissions among people living with HIV (PLHIV) in industrialized countries. We aimed to estimate the incidence of SBI and their risk factors in a large prospective cohort of PLHIV patients over a 13-year period in France. Patients followed up in the ANRS CO3 Aquitaine cohort between 2000 and 2012 were eligible; SBI was defined as a clinical diagnosis associated with hospitalization of ≥48 hours or death.

Association of immune-activation and senescence markers with non-AIDS-defining comorbidities in HIV-suppressed patients.

Objectives: We studied the link between T-cell activation, differentiation and senescence phenotypes and non-AIDS-related comorbidities in HIV-suppressed patients.

Design: Patients included in the ANRS CO3 Aquitaine Cohort were consecutively enrolled in this cross-sectional study between October 2011 and May 2013 called Chronic Immune Activation and Senescence (CIADIS) study.

Methods: We summarized immune markers [CD4 and CD8 activation (DR), differentiation (naive and terminally differentiated memory T cells), and senescence (CD57CD28)] in a weighted immune score by principal component analysis called CIADIS.

Protease inhibitors exposure is not related to lung cancer risk in HIV smoker patients: a nested case-control study.

Objective: We aimed at assessing in persons living with HIV with a smoking history an association between lung cancer risk and protease inhibitors exposure, especially ritonavir.

Design: A nested case-control study was conducted within the ANRS CO4 FHDH, CO3 Aquitaine and Tenon's Hospital Cohorts.

Methods: Cases and controls were eligible if they were ex-smokers or current smokers at the index date, and had a CD4 cell count reported in the year preceding the index date.

Switch to Rilpivirine/Emtricitabine/Tenofovir Single-Tablet Regimen of Human Immunodeficiency Virus-1 RNA-Suppressed Patients, Agence Nationale de Recherches sur le SIDA et les Hépatites Virales CO3 Aquitaine Cohort, 2012-2014.

Background.  The purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy and tolerability of combined antiretroviral therapy (cART) in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 virologically suppressed patients who switched to rilpivirine (RPV)/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF)/emtricitabine (FTC) as a single-tablet regimen (STR). Methods.

Incidence and risk factors for thoracic spine pain in the working population: the French Pays de la Loire study.

Objective: To examine the incidence and risk factors for incident thoracic spine pain (TSP) in workers representative of a French region's working population.

Methods: In this prospective study, 3,710 workers were assessed in 2002-2005, and 2,332 (62.9%) of them were reassessed in 2007-2010.
