Objective To conduct a multidimensional and multi-level evaluation of the comprehensive clinical value of empagliflozin in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus.Methods Based on the National Essential Medicines List(2018 Edition),dapagliflozin was selected as the control.A comprehensive clinical evaluation index system was established through literature review,focus group interviews and in-depth expert interviews,encompassing six dimensions:safety,efficacy,economy,suitability,innovation,and accessibility.The Delphi method and hierarchical direct weighting method were used to screen indicators and determine their weights.Evidence for each indicator was collected and integrated both qualitatively and quantitatively through literature research,real-world studies,and pharmacoeconomic evaluations.Experts scored the indicators based on the collected evidence,and a total score for the comprehensive clinical evaluation of empagliflozin was calculated by combining these scores with indicator weights,followed by a comparative analysis with dapagliflozin.Results A comprehensive clinical evaluation of empagliflozin in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus was successfully established,consisting of 6 primary indicators,14 secondary indicators,and 41 tertiary indicators.The overall evaluation score for empagliflozin was 90.35,and 89.47 for dapagliflozin.Conclusion The comprehensive clinical value of empagliflozin in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus is slightly higher than that of dapagliflozin.This finding can serve as a reference for rational clinical drug use and related decision-making.

Objective:To understand the prevalence and related factors of three common chronic diseases, hyperlipidemia, hypertension and diabetes in HIV-infected persons.Methods:As of December 2023, HIV-infected persons >15 years old who are receiving antiviral therapy (ART) and follow-up in Henan Province were selected as the study objects. Questionnaires, physical examinations, and blood samples were collected to collect demographic information, ART, body weight, blood lipids, blood pressure, and blood sugar of HIV-infected persons. The logistic regression model was used to analyze the related factors of hyperlipidemia, hypertension and diabetes.Results:Among 4 023 HIV-infected patients, the prevalence rates of hyperlipidemia, hypertension, and diabetes were 64.47% (2 594/4 023), 16.80% (676/4 023), and 10.54% (424/4 023), respectively. Multivariate analysis showed that hyperlipidemia was positively associated with ≥40 years of age, overweight and obesity, two nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) + proteasome inhibitors (PIs) regimen and two NRTIs+ integrase inhibitor regimen, and negatively associated with low body weight. Hypertension was positively correlated with the age group ≥40 years old, family history of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, overweight and obesity, ART time ≥0.5 years, and negatively correlated with low body weight. Diabetes was positively associated with age group ≥40 years, family history of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease, overweight and obesity, and negatively associated with the use of two NRTIs+PIs treatment regimens.Conclusions:In 2023, the prevalence of hyperlipidemia, hypertension, and diabetes among HIV-infected people in Henan Province was relatively high, and the risk of common chronic diseases among those ≥40 years old, overweight and obese, and those with a family history of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases was also relatively high. It is recommended to strengthen the prevention and management of common chronic diseases among HIV-infected people.

Objective:To explore the distribution of HIV-1 genetic subtypes and drug resistance profiles among HIV-1 infected patients with antiretroviral treatment (ART) failure in Henan Province and to provide evidence for optimizing ART regimens.Methods:HIV-1 infected patients who had received ART for at least 6 months with viral loads (VL) ≥200 copies/ml in 18 cities of Henan from January to December 2023. The plasma samples were collected, and partial pol gene sequences and full-length integrase ( int) gene sequences of HIV-1 were amplified using nested RT-PCR. HIV-1 subtypes were determined using the REGA HIV-1 subtyping tool, and drug resistance mutations were analyzed using the Stanford University HIV Drug Resistance Database ( http://hivdb.stanford.edu/). Chi-square tests and multivariate logistic regression were used to identify risk factors associated with drug resistance of HIV-1 infected patients. Results:Among 697 HIV-1 infected patients with ART failure, 14 HIV-1 genetic subtypes were identified. Subtype B was predominant (58.68%, 409/697), followed by CRF01_AE (21.95%, 153/697) and CRF07_BC (12.91%, 90/697). The overall drug resistance rate was 72.31% (504/697), with CRF55_01B exhibiting a resistance rate of 91.30% (21/23). Non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs) had the highest resistance mutation rate (67.29%, 469/697), followed by nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs)(56.81%, 396/697), protease inhibitors (PIs)(5.74%, 40/697), and integrase strand transfer inhibitors (INSTIs)(2.75%, 19/691). The results of multivariate analysis showed that the positive correlation factor for drug resistance in HIV-1 infected individuals with failed ART was baseline CD4 +T lymphocyte counts <200 cells/μl (a OR=3.84, 95% CI: 1.69-8.72), and the negative correlation factor was ART duration of 3-5 years (a OR=0.32, 95% CI: 0.13-0.77), the initial treatment ART protocol used two types of NRTIs plus one type of PIs (a OR=0.14, 95% CI: 0.05-0.43) and two types of NRTIs plus one type of INSTIs protocol (a OR=0.12, 95% CI: 0.03-0.57). Conclusions:The drug resistance rate of HIV-1 infected patients with ART failure was relatively higher in Henan Province in 2023. Strengthening the monitoring of HIV-1 drug resistance is of great significance to improve the ART effect of HIV-1 infected patients.

Objective:To analyze the drug resistance characteristics and influencing factors in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 treated patients in Henan Province.Methods:HIV-1 treated patients who had received anti-retroviral therapy (ART) for more than six months and had a viral load >200 copies/mL in the Zhengzhou Sixth People′s Hospital from January to December 2024 were enrolled. Plasma samples were collected. Partial pol region gene sequences and integrase gene sequences of HIV-1 were amplified by reverse transcription nested polymerase chain reaction. The REGA HIV-1 subtype analysis tool was used to determine the subtypes of HIV-1 isolates, and the HIV drug resistance database of Stanford University in the United States was used to analyze the genetic drug resistance mutations and antiviral drug susceptibility. The multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the factors related to drug resistance. Results:Among 933 HIV-1 treated patients with ART failure, 825 samples were successfully amplified, with the amplification success rate of 88.42%. The overall drug resistance rate was 70.06%(578/825), among which the drug resistance rates of nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI), non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI), protease inhibitor (PI), and integrase inhibitor (INSTI) were 55.15%(455/825), 64.36%(531/825), 5.70%(47/825), and 2.31%(19/821), respectively. The most common drug resistance mutations included M184I/V (47.88%(395/825)), K103N/S (38.18%(315/825)), and K70E/G/N/Q/R/S/T/del (16.61%(137/825)). Multivariate analysis showed that the baseline CD4 + T cell count <200 cells/μL (adjusted odds ratio ( OR)=2.239, 95% confidence interval ( CI)1.011 to 4.960), an initial 2NRTI+ NNRTI-based treatment regimen (adjusted OR=44.332, 95% CI 5.191 to 378.593), initial 2NRTI+ PI/r (r means ritonavir)-based regimen (adjusted OR=14.391, 95% CI 1.304 to 158.805) and a change in the ART regimen (adjusted OR=5.941, 95% CI 2.373 to 14.878) were independent risk factors for drug resistance (all P<0.05). Conclusions:The drug resistance rate after virological failure in HIV-1 treated patients in Henan Province is relatively high, which is mainly characterized by NNRTI resistance. The baseline immune status and the choice of the initial treatment regimen are important factors affecting the occurrence of drug resistance. The treatment monitoring and drug resistance monitoring should be strengthened.
