Previous studies of cardiomyopathy among children perinatally infected with HIV were conducted before the routine use HAART. Nucleoside analogs [nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs)], backbone HAART, have been associated mitochondrial toxicity, which can lead to cardiomyopathy. We evaluated association HAART and specific NRTIs on development HIV-infected children.Three thousand thirty-five enrolled in a US-based multicenter prospective cohort study followed for cardiomyopathy,...
The CD4 cell count or percent (CD4%) at the start of combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) is an important prognostic factor in children starting and indicator program performance. We describe trends determinants measures cART initiation from low-, middle-, high-income countries.We included aged <16 years clinics participating a collaborative study spanning sub-Saharan Africa, Asia, Latin America, United States. Missing values were estimated through multiple imputation. Severe...
Perinatally HIV-infected adolescents may be susceptible to aggregate atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk, as measured by the Pathobiological Determinants of Atherosclerosis in Youth (PDAY) coronary arteries and abdominal aorta risk scores, a result prolonged exposure HIV antiretroviral therapy.Coronary PDAY scores were calculated for 165 perinatally adolescents, using weighted combination modifiable factors: dyslipidemia, cigarette smoking, hypertension, obesity, hyperglycemia....
Background. The International Maternal Pediatric Adolescent AIDS Clinical Trials Network (IMPAACT) P1060 study demonstrated short-term superiority of lopinavir/ritonavir (LPV/r) over nevirapine (NVP) in antiretroviral therapy (ART), regardless prior NVP exposure. However, NVP-based ART had a marginal benefit CD4 percentage (CD4%) and growth. We compared 5-year outcomes from this clinical trial. Methods. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)–infected, ART-eligible children were enrolled into 2...
Early antiretroviral therapy (ART) limits proviral reservoirs, a goal for human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) remission strategies. Whether this is an immediate or long-term effect of virologic suppression (VS) in perinatal infection unknown. We quantified HIV-1 DNA longitudinally up to 14 years peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) among 61 perinatally HIV-1–infected youths the Pediatric HIV/AIDS Cohort Study who achieved VS at different ages. Participants group (n = 13) were...
To evaluate the association between HIV infection and sexual maturation, mediation of this by effects on growth.
BackgroundComputer simulation models can project long-term patient outcomes and inform health policy. We internally validated then calibrated a model of HIV disease in children before initiation antiretroviral therapy to provide framework against which compare the impact pediatric treatment strategies. MethodsWe developed patient-level (Monte Carlo) progression among untreated <5 years age, using Cost-Effectiveness Preventing AIDS Complications framework: CEPAC-Pediatric model. populated...
Background. Children with perinatal human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection (PHIV) may not be protected against measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) because of impaired initial vaccine response or waning immunity. Our objectives were to estimate seroimmunity in PHIV-infected perinatally HIV-exposed but uninfected (HEU) children identify predictors immunity the PHIV cohort. Methods. HEU enrolled Pediatric HIV/AIDS Cohort Study (PHACS) at ages 7–15 years from 2007 2009. At annual visits,...
