Dyslipidemia and Associated Factors in Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate-Based Regimen Among Human Immunodeficiency Virus-Infected Ethiopian Patients: A Hospital-Based Observational Prospective Cohort Study

摘要

Background:Studies showed conflicting results regarding the effect of broadly used tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF)-based regimen on lipid profiles, and in Ethiopia, there is no data regarding the magnitude of dyslipidemia and its associated factors.Objective:The aim of this study was to determine the magnitude of dyslipidemia and its associated factors among adult human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients in TDF-based regimen in Tikur Anbessa Specialized Hospital (TASH) in Ethiopia.Methods:A hospital-based observational prospective cohort study was conducted on conveniently selected 63 patients in TASH from January to September, 2019. The data was analyzed by using SPSS version 21.0, and multivariate logistic regression was used to determine associated factors with dyslipidemia.Results:The overall dyslipidemia was 73% and 77.8% at baseline and six months, respectively. The prevalence of total cholesterol (TC) ≥200 mg/d, triglyceride (TG) ≥150 mg/dL, low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c) ≥130 mg/dL, and high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c) 40 mg/dL was 38.1% vs 42.9%, 23.8% vs 31.7%, 17.5% vs 22.2%, and 41.3% vs 41.3% at baseline and six month follow-up, respectively. Age ≥50 years old (AOR = 0.6, 95% CI: 0.004-0.71, p = 0.026) and body mass index (BMI) ≥25 kg/m 2 (AOR = 6.44, 95% CI: 1.34-30.9, p = 0.02) were significantly associated with TC ≥200 mg/dL. Having cancer (AOR = 0.04, 95% CI: 0.01-0.6, p = 0.019) and education level below diploma (AOR = 9.47, 95% CI: 1.15-77.96, p = 0.037) were significantly associated with overall dyslipidemia.Conclusion:In this study, the proportion of patients with dyslipidemia was higher at six month follow-up but there was no significant difference when compared to baseline. The mean LDL-c was significantly higher at six months compared to its baseline mean. The associated factors with dyslipidemia were age, BMI, having cancer and low level of education. Lipid profile monitoring is recommended in patients with a younger age and higher BMI.? 2020 Yazie.
