This analysis examines the association between suboptimal antiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence and factors obtained through PROs among people with HIV (PWH) at 2 North American outpatient clinics.Patients and Methods: Immediately before a clinic visit, PWH completed self-administered PROs. Unadjusted and adjusted odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated from logistic regression models to identify sociodemographic and health-related factors (satisfaction with ART, difficulty meeting housing costs, depression, intimate partner violence, risk of malnutrition, smoking status, alcohol use, and substance use) associated with suboptimal adherence (defined as self-reporting < 95% or < 80% adherence). Multiple imputation was performed to account for missing data in the multivariate analyses.Results: Of 1632 PWH, 1239 (76%) responded to the adherence assessment; of these, 268 (22%) and 106 (9%) reported < 95% and < 80% adherence, respectively. Of 1580 PWH who responded, 354 (22%) were dissatisfied with their HIV medication. Of responding PWH, 19% reported moderate-to-severe depression, 23% indicated they were at risk of malnutrition, 34% were current smokers, and 62% reported substance use in the past 3 months. Dissatisfaction with ART was significantly associated with < 95% and < 80% adherence in the unadjusted analysis (unadjusted OR [95% CI], 3.38 [2.51â 4.56] and 4.26 [2.82â 6.42], respectively) and adjusted analysis (adjusted OR [95% CI], 2.76 [1.91â 4.00] and 3.28 [1.95â 5.52], respectively); significance remained after multiple imputation. In adjusted analyses, no risk of malnutrition was significantly associated with reduced odds of < 95% adherence after multiple imputation (adjusted OR [95% CI], 0.714 [0.511â 0.997]); no other factors were associated with < 95% or < 80% adherence.Conclusion: These results suggest that implementation of PROs evaluating treatment satisfaction may provide value to adherence management in routine HIV care.Keywords: patient satisfaction, antiretroviral therapy, highly active, treatment adherence, implementation science, quality of life |
