The Saint-Antoine Orchestra Program aims at improving the clinical management of HIV-infected patients through access to care, prevention and early diagnosis of comorbidities.The program was initiated in December 2004 on the whole database. The following topics were concerned: cardiovascular risk factors, gynecological follow-up, anti-HBV vaccinal coverage, sexuality and prevention of STIs, therapeutic adherence and counsels to travelers. The program included several actions: diffusion of information to patients, development of a computerized chart (alert pop-ups), individualized prescription advice and recommendations for specialist referral.The program was applied to 1959 patients whose initial characteristics were: mean age: 43+/-10 years; ratio M/W: 1466/493; European origin: 69%; sub-Saharan: 19%; mean duration of HIV infection: 9.3+/-6 years; naïve of antiretrovirals: 14%; mean CD4+count: 494+/-277/mm(3); HIV viral load inferior to 50 cp/ml: 62%. Among 1347 patients for whom cardiovascular risk factors were completely informed, 42% had two or more factors. In particular, 31% of them were smokers, 7% had an arterial pressure superior to 140/90 mmHg and 11% had LDL-cholesterolemia superior to 4.1 mmol/l. Among 1448 untreated patients, 70% were initially considered as adherent. Half of the concerned women had neither cervical smear nor mammography up to date. Among 67% patients with an informed complete HBV serology, 27% were seronegative among which 310 (86%) were eligible for the vaccine. Problems of sexual difficulties or prevention were initially discussed for 11% of patients. Among them, 14% had a problem of prevention and 148 (66%) recognized sexual difficulties.The initiation of the Saint-Antoine Orchestra program has provided a unique opportunity to assess and improve the prevention and management of comorbidities in HIV patients. Also, this program aimed to improve professional practices. |
