HIV and Cardiac Diseases ACHIM BARMEYER, MARKUS UNNEW EHR With growing age and duration of the disease, the prevalence of cardiovascular dis- eases is increasing in HIV+ patients. The increase of cardiovascular morbidity results from an elevated cardiovascular risk profile as well as being a direct consequence of HIV infection itself. Knowledge of the diagnosis and therapy of HIV-associated cardiovascular disease is becoming more and more important (Neumann 2002a, Dakin 2006). Coronary artery disease (CAD) HIV+ patients show a higher prevalence of CAD (Currier 2003) and a higher inci- dence of acute coronary syndromes (ACS) (Klein 2002, Triant 2007), especially acute myocardial infarctions (MI), compared to HIV-negative individuals. It also appears that cardiovascular events occur earlier. The higher cardiovascular morbidity might be attributable to three possible major causes: negative effects of ART, a direct impact of HIV infection and a higher cardiovascular risk profile. The effect of ART on cardiovascular morbidity was investigated in a number of studies. ART was associated with a higher incidence of CAD (Currier 2003), the development of atherosclerosis (Jericó 2006, de Saint Martin 2006) and incidence of coronary vascular events (Iloeje 2005). In the D:A:D study, including more than 23,000 patients, a 26% increase in MI incidence was found with each year of ART exposure (Friis-Moller 2003, Law 2006). Antiretroviral therapy was an independent risk factor for CAD along with the classical cardiovascular risk factors like age, gender and par- ticularly smoking (Law 2006). Of interest is the effect of NRTIs on the occurrence of myocardial infarction. The D:A:D study reported an increased rate of MI for abacavir and ddI (Sabin 2008). An elevated incidence of cardiovascular events was also found in a retrospective analysis of the SMART study as well as in another retrospective analysis of a Danish work- group (Obel 2010). Inflammation may be the cause of this increased cardiovascular event rate (Lundgren 2008b). On the contrary, a recent FDA meta-analysis plotting data of almost 10,000 patients could not find a statistically significant difference of MI events between subjects receiving abacavir-containing ART and other ART regimens (Ding 2011). When using PIs, the increased event rate was associated with classical risk factors such as diabetes and hyperlipidemia which may explain some of the events. Patients undergoing therapy with abacavir also were likely to be male and had an increased rate of risk factors like increased age, diabetes and pre-exist- ing cardiovascular disease. Further investigation is needed to clarify how much classical risk factors contribute to the MI event rate. When looking at NNRTIs and some PIs (nelfinavir, saquinavir) and NRTIs (AZT, d4T, 3TC, tenofovir) there was no hint of an increased cardiovascular event rate (Worm 2010).

In the last study of Helicobacter 163 pylori and prevention of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug-induced ulcers cheap entocort 100 mcg mastercard, patients with Helicobacter pylori but without past or current ulcer were assigned to 1 of 4 treatment groups: Proton pump inhibitors Page 48 of 121 Final Report Update 5 Drug Effectiveness Review Project omeprazole 20 mg plus clarithromycin 500 mg and amoxicillin 1 gram for 1 week; placebo or omeprazole 20 mg daily for 4 weeks; omeprazole 20 mg once daily for 5 weeks; or placebo for 5 weeks order entocort 100 mcg online. At 3 months purchase entocort 100mcg with visa, the gastric ulcer rate (failure rate) was 7% for misoprostol, 20% for lansoprazole 15 mg, and 18% for lansoprazole 30 mg, with no significant difference between lansoprazole doses. However, when adverse effects were included as failures, the failure rate for all 3 treatment groups was 31%. A post hoc subgroup analysis of patients taking nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and low dose aspirin found no significant 166 difference among treatments at 12 weeks. Symptoms (antacid use and day and nighttime abdominal pain) were assessed by patient diary and were found to be significantly better in the lansoprazole groups than the misoprostol group, but comparisons between the 2 lansoprazole 160 doses were not made. In the study of Helicobacter pylori positive patients with ulcer complications (bleeding, 162 perforation, or obstruction), the primary endpoint was prevention of ulcer complications and the secondary endpoint was recurrence. The rate of recurrence of ulcer complications at a median follow-up of 12 months was 1. Two patients in the placebo group (N=61) were also taking nonsteroidal anti- inflammatory drugs. In patients with Helicobacter pylori but no history of ulcer, all 3 active treatment regimens were better than placebo in reducing the occurrence of ulcer and dyspeptic symptoms requiring therapy. There were no significant differences between the treatment groups. The pantoprazole group had 17% fewer ulcers at 4 weeks and 27% at 12 weeks. Patients who dropped out due to adverse events were included in the 4 week data as treatment failures. The methods or scales used to assess symptoms 161 were not described but reported just “symptoms. At 4 and 12 weeks presence of gastrointestinal symptoms improved in the pantoprazole group (to 17% and 20%, respectively), while in the placebo group remained stable (20% and 19%, respectively). The only evidence on prevention of ulcers related to COX-2 inhibitors came from a combined report of 2 similar fair quality trials that enrolled patients who were regularly taking a nonselective nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug or a COX-2 inhibitor and were at risk of peptic 165 ulcer (age > 60 years or documented peptic ulcer in last 5 years). Combined, the studies randomized 1429 patients to esomeprazole 20 mg, esomeprazole 40 mg, or placebo daily for 6 months. Using pooled and separate life-table analyses, the overall analysis indicated that both esomeprazole groups prevented peptic ulcer statistically significantly more often than placebo for all nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. While no statistical analyses were undertaken comparing the 2 doses of esomeprazole, the rates of ulcer development were very similar (5. The rates of ulcer development among the subgroup taking a COX-2 inhibitor were also statistically significantly lower with either dose of esomeprazole compared to placebo (16. The separate study analyses of the subgroup taking nonselective nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs indicated that esomeprazole was superior to placebo in one Proton pump inhibitors Page 49 of 121 Final Report Update 5 Drug Effectiveness Review Project trial (N=844) but not in the other (N=585), while the pooled analysis indicated statistically significant benefit with either dose of esomeprazole compared to placebo. What is the comparative effectiveness of different proton pump inhibitors in eradicating Helicobacter pylori infection? Summary • The evidence on comparative effectiveness of various proton pump inhibitors was fair, despite 5 systematic reviews and 29 head-to-head trials. The significant heterogeneity in design, participants, and method of measuring outcomes among studies lessen the strength of the evidence. Neither trial found the addition of lansoprazole to result in higher eradication rates than antibiotic therapy alone. Detailed Assessment Direct evidence Five systematic reviews have evaluated the efficacy of proton pump inhibitors in eradication of Helicobacter pylori, however because these reviews focused on comparisons to H2 receptor antagonists, were out of date (literature searches conducted prior to 2001), or included non- randomized studies or studies published only as abstracts, they were not sufficient to evaluate 47, 167-171 this question. Twenty-nine studies directly compared one proton pump inhibitor with another, in 98, 104, combination with the same antibiotic(s), and reported Helicobacter pylori eradication rates. Several studies 187, 104, 178, 183, 190, 198, 200 included antibiotic regimens that are no longer standard. Of these, 23 trials compared proton pump inhibitors using identical regimens of antibiotics (within study) and reported eradication rates in a way that allowed statistical pooling (Table 11). While most of these trials used a 7 day proton pump inhibitor regimen in combination with 2 antibiotics, 3 trials used 190, 202 175 longer proton pump inhibitor regimens, a 14 day and a 30 day regimen. Interestingly, these regimens resulted in lower eradication rates at follow-up. Overall, eradication rates ranged from 67% in a trial of lansoprazole 60 mg daily for 30 days to 100% in a trial of pantoprazole 40 mg daily for 7 days. Pooled rates of eradication from these trials vary (see Table 11 below), but pooled relative risks of these rates did not identify statistically significant differences between groups when stratified by number of days of treatment and dose comparison (Table 11 below). Several trials examined different dose levels (high compared to usual and low compared to usual) of proton pump inhibitors without finding statistically significant differences in eradication rates. Proton pump inhibitors Page 50 of 121 Final Report Update 5 Drug Effectiveness Review Project In 1 additional study, patients who had failed a 1 week regimen of amoxicillin, clarithromycin, and a proton pump inhibitor were randomized to rabeprazole 20 mg, 188 lansoprazole 60 mg, or omeprazole 40 mg daily each plus amoxicillin and metronidazole. No differences were found among the proton pump inhibitors in eradication rates, with 91% eradication in each group.
