Article Synopsis
- The meta-analysis aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of two-drug regimens versus triple-drug regimens in virosuppressed people living with HIV (PLWH) over a 96-week follow-up period.
- The review included six studies, assessing treatment failure, virological failure, adverse drug reactions, and mutations, with no significant differences found between the two treatment approaches.
- The findings support the use of two-drug regimens as a simpler and effective treatment option for improving clinical outcomes in virosuppressed PLWH.
Background And Aim: The aim of our study was to evaluate the rate of compliance to institutional guidelines on surgical antimicrobial prophylaxis (SAP) among the surgical wards of our facility and to evaluate the impact of our antimicrobial stewardship programme (ASP) on the adherence rate.

The literature data show that protease inhibitors (PIs) are associated with a higher incidence of dyslipidemia.

The aim of the present pair-matched case-control study was to investigate the outcome of patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection in obese and non-obese patients matched considering gender, age, number of comorbidities, and Charlson Comorbidity Index.
Methods: All the adults hospitalized for SARS-CoV-2 infection and with BMI ≥ 30 kg/m were included (Cases).
