Objectives: To evaluate polypharmacy, anticholinergic burden (ACB) and drug-drug interactions (DDIs) in people with four-class-resistant HIV (4DR-PWH). Methods: We performed a cross-sectional study, including 4DR-PWH from the PRESTIGIO Registry taking at least one non-antiretroviral drug. Polypharmacy was defined as taking five or more non-antiretroviral drugs. ACB was calculated using the ACB scale: 0 = no AC effect, 1-2 = low/moderate risk, >= 3 = high AC risk. Participants' characteristics by ACB score were compared using the Kruskal-Wallis test, and Spearman's correlation coefficient was used to assess linear relationships. DDIs were evaluated using the Liverpool database. Results: Overall, 172 4DR-PLWH were evaluated: 75.6% males, median age 49.9 years (IQR = 45.6-56), 62 (27.1%) on polypharmacy, 124 (72.1%) using a boosting agent and 72 (41.8%) with four or more antiretrovirals. Based on ACB, 128 (74.45%), 33 (19.2%) and 11 (6.4%) had a no, low/moderate and high AC risk, respectively. The most common AC drugs were beta-blockers (12.2%), diuretics (8.7%) and antidepressants (8.7%). The high ACB was significantly related to the number of drugs/person (r = 0.33, P < 0.0001) and the number of clinical events (r = 0.222, P = 0.004). Overall, 258 DDIs were found between antiretrovirals and co-medications in 115 (66.8%) PWH, and 14 (8.1%) PWH received contraindicated drug combinations. Conclusions: In 4DR-PWH, polypharmacy, DDIs and the proportion of people with moderate/high AC burden were high. In 4DR-PWH undetectability achievement and maintenance is the priority and use of boosted PIs is common. A strict collaboration (infectious diseases specialists, virologists, pharmacologists) is needed to limit the risk of ACB and DDIs and to explore the advantages of new antiretrovirals.

Abstract
Objectives: To evaluate polypharmacy, anticholinergic burden (ACB) and drug-drug interactions (DDIs) in people with four-class-resistant HIV (4DR-PWH). Methods: We performed a cross-sectional study, including 4DR-PWH from the PRESTIGIO Registry taking at least one non-antiretroviral drug. Polypharmacy was defined as taking five or more non-antiretroviral drugs. ACB was calculated using the ACB scale: 0 = no AC effect, 1-2 = low/moderate risk, >= 3 = high AC risk. Participants' characteristics by ACB score were compared using the Kruskal-Wallis test, and Spearman's correlation coefficient was used to assess linear relationships. DDIs were evaluated using the Liverpool database. Results: Overall, 172 4DR-PLWH were evaluated: 75.6% males, median age 49.9 years (IQR = 45.6-56), 62 (27.1%) on polypharmacy, 124 (72.1%) using a boosting agent and 72 (41.8%) with four or more antiretrovirals. Based on ACB, 128 (74.45%), 33 (19.2%) and 11 (6.4%) had a no, low/moderate and high AC risk, respectively. The most common AC drugs were beta-blockers (12.2%), diuretics (8.7%) and antidepressants (8.7%). The high ACB was significantly related to the number of drugs/person (r = 0.33, P < 0.0001) and the number of clinical events (r = 0.222, P = 0.004). Overall, 258 DDIs were found between antiretrovirals and co-medications in 115 (66.8%) PWH, and 14 (8.1%) PWH received contraindicated drug combinations. Conclusions: In 4DR-PWH, polypharmacy, DDIs and the proportion of people with moderate/high AC burden were high. In 4DR-PWH undetectability achievement and maintenance is the priority and use of boosted PIs is common. A strict collaboration (infectious diseases specialists, virologists, pharmacologists) is needed to limit the risk of ACB and DDIs and to explore the advantages of new antiretrovirals.I documenti in FLORE sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
