1 AIDS Rev. Andrea-Clemencia 2012;14: Pineda-Peña: (Supplementary Transmitted Methods) Resistance in Latin America (Supplementary Methods) HIV-1 Transmitted Drug Resistance in Latin America and the Caribbean: What Do We Know? Andrea-Clemencia Pineda-Peña 1,2, Diana-Carolina Bello 1, Otto Sussmann 1, Anne-Mieke Vandamme 2,3, Jurgen Vercauteren 2, Kristel Van Laethem 2,4, Arley Gomez-Lopez 1 1 Clinical and Molecular Infectious Disease Group, Faculty of Sciences and Mathematics, Universidad del Rosario, Bogotá, Colombia; 2 Rega Institute for Medical Research, KU Leuven, Leuven, Belgium; 3 Centro de Malária e outras Doenças Tropicais, Instituto de Higiene e Medicina Tropical, Universidade Nova de Lisboa, Lisboa, Portugal; 4 AIDS Reference Laboratory, Universitaire Ziekenhuizen Leuven, Leuven, Belgium Systematic searching A systematic strategy (Fig. 3) was used to search for Spanish, Portuguese and English literature published in the period June 1999 to May 2011 and available within the following databases: MEDLINE via PubMed, SciELO, BIREME, IBECS, Cochrane, and LILACS. Additionally, abstracts from Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections (CROI), International AIDS Conference, IAS Conference on HIV Pathogenesis and Treatment, Meetings of the Infectious Diseases Society of America, European AIDS Clinical Society, International Congress on Drug Therapy in HIV Infection, and the International Drug Resistance Workshop were identified. The combinations of the following MeSH (Medline descriptor) or DeCS (Lilacs descriptor) terms were used: HIV or HIV-1 and Drug Resistance or Anti-HIV Agents or Anti-Retroviral Agents and Latin America, Caribbean, Central America, South America, or each individual LAC country (Fig. 1). For the respective international conferences, HIV and Resistance and the name of the LAC country were used as search items. The data were independently extracted and reviewed by two researchers (Pineda AC, Bello DC). Only studies in which naive patients were clearly defined as having no exposure to any ARV were included. Duplicates or preliminary versions of studies with similar data were excluded. Resistance surveys in pregnant women and in children and studies investigating mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) were also excluded due to the high probability of including treated patients. Studies based upon point mutation assays (e.g. Line Probe Assay LiPA) were not included as the data collection was restricted to specific mutations and sensitivity and specificity characteristics of these assays substantially differ from sequencing technology. The following data were extracted from the articles: region, sample size, data collection period, type of infection, mode of transmission, gender, age, CDC classification, CD4 count, subtype, TDR, technique and algorithm to determine drug resistance. Analysis of resistance Transmitted drug resistance was reanalyzed according to the SDRM list The sequences from the publications that were found through the systematic search were downloaded from Los Alamos database ( accessed in July 2011) and Stanford database ( accessed in August 2011). The RegaDB sequence alignment tool (available was used to determine amino acid mutations. If sequences were not available, TDR was recalculated based upon the mutations reported in the original figures and tables and excluding mutations that were not part of the SDRM list Both databases were also searched for additional HIV-1 sequences from Latin America and the Caribbean. The inclusion criteria were therapy naive patients (according to database and article referenced) and availability of RT and protease (PR) sequences for each patient. The exclusion criteria were duplicated sequences, clones, unknown treatment history, evidence of hypermutation, and short sequences (minimum requirements: RT positions 41 to 219 positions and PR positions 30 to 90). Dubious data were not extracted.the viral subtypes were evaluated by REGA HIV-1 subtyping tool 50. The analysis of the data was done with the statistical software R version Prevalence values were calculated with a 95% Wilson score confidence interval on the basis of a binomial distribution. Categorical data were compared with the chi-square test. Logistic regression analysis was used to examine TDR time trends in LAC, Brazil and Argentina, likewise the trends of NRTI, NNRTI and PI resistance and of 41L and 103N mutations. 3
