Study design details

Main study objective

To describe the incidence of and characteristics of those who develop hypersensitivity skin reactions, hepatotoxicity, and severe skin rash

Outcomes

Hypersensitivity skin reactions, hepatotoxicity, and severe skin rash

Data analysis plan

There are 4 patient groups: A) patients that start DTG and ABC based regimen, B) patients that start DTG based regimen without ABC, C) patients that start other integrase inhibitor based regimen RAL and EGV with ABC, D) patients that start other integrase inhibitor based regimen (RAL and EGV) without ABC. Demographics and clinical history will be collected. Descriptive statistics will be used to describe patient characteristics and event frequency. Logistic regression will be used to assess the risk for the events of interest following use of DTG compared to ABC and other integrase inhibitors.
