Risk of CVD event (Hazard Ratio) according to NLR distribution.
<p>NLR was modeled by cubic spline (solid line) with three knots in Cox regression model adjusted for age, sex, intravenous drug use, diabetes and tobacco smoking as fixed covariates, and CD4 cell count, antiretroviral therapy, presence of hypertension, SBP, total cholesterol and HDL as time dependent covariates. The reference value is 1.2. The 95% confidence intervals are shown as dashed lines. <i>Vertical axes</i> have a <i>logarithmic scale</i>.

The presence of resistance-associated mutations in reverse transcriptase gene is associated with cerebrospinal fluid HIV-1 escape: a multicentric retrospective analysis
Higher risk of cerebrospinal fluid escape (CVE) has been associated with the use of specific antiretroviral (ARV) classes, such as protease inhibitors. We assessed whether archived resistance-associated mutations (RAMs) can mediate this relationship by identifying patients treated with incompletely active antiretroviral regimens. A retrospective multicentric study on 282 adult people with HIV on antiretroviral therapy (ART) and available historical plasma genotype resistance testing (HGRT) for reverse transcriptase (RT) and protease genes between 2001 and 2021. The odds ratio for demographic, clinic-, and ART-related variables and CVE was estimated by multivariable modeling. HGRT-adjusted central nervous system effectiveness penetration (CPE) score was computed in modeling the risk. Median age, plasma VL, and CD4 count were 49 years, <50?copies/mL, and 310?cells/”L. CVE was detected in 51 participants (17.0%). No difference in CVE prevalence was observed according to ART type, number of ARVs or ARV classes. Participants with CVE had more frequently plasma (52.9% vs. 32.1%, p?=?0.005) and CSF RAMs in RT (n?=?63, 57.1% vs. 28.6%, p?=?0.029), but not in protease gene. The presence of plasma RAMs in RT associated with increased odds of CVE in adjusted analyses (aOR 3.9, p
