Prevalence of Lipodystrophy Syndrome and Its Role as Cause of Metabolic Disturbances

Completed
Conditions
Lipodystrophy
Metabolic Syndrome
Registration Number
NCT02614027
Lead Sponsor
Asociacion para el Estudio de las Enfermedades Infecciosas
Brief Summary

To evaluate the prevalence of lipodystrophy syndrome in patients receiving currently available antiretroviral drugs, and the prevalence of associated metabolic syndrome in HIV-infected patients with a previous diagnosis of lipodystrophy syndrome, according to the severity of fat accumulation and antiretroviral drug use.

Detailed Description

Cross-sectional evaluation of two groups of patients:

* patients receiving currently available drugs, in order to determine the changes in fat accumulation by successive dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) determinations

* patients with previous lipodystrophy syndrome, as evaluated by questionnaire (HOPS) and total body dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), in order to determine the prevalence of hypertension, low high density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol, glucose disturbance (insulin resistance or diabetes), fat accumulation (waist circumference) and hypertriglyceridemia.

The prevalence of Metabolic syndrome will be evaluated according to the different definitions (IDF, NCEP-ATP III, WHO).

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Prevalence of lipodystrophy syndrome as defined by changes in fat by DXA6 meses

Comparison of changes in visceral and subcutaneous fat during current antiretroviral therapy for patients receiving current antiretroviral regimens and who never received thymidine analogues, didanosine, lopinavir, indinavir, or nelfinavir.

Prevalence of metabolic syndrome as defined by the NCEP-ATP III (National Cholesterol Education Programme-Adult Treatment Panel III)3 months

Prevalence of the different components of this syndrome: Abdominal obesity: waist circumference ≥102 cm in men and ≥88 cm in women, hypertriglyceridemia: ≥150 mg/dl (1.695 mmol/l), low HDL-C: \<40 mg/dl in men and \<50 mg/dl in women, high blood pressure (BP): \>130/85 mmHg, and high fasting glucose: \>110 mg/dl.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Value of dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) in predicting the development of lipodystrophy and metabolic syndrome3 months

Correlations of visceral fat by DXA with fat accumulation, hypertension, diabetes or hypertriglyeceridemia
