We analyzed final height of 273 perinatally HIV-infected Asian adolescents older than 18 years at their last clinic visit. By the World Health Organization child growth reference, 30% were stunted, but by the Thai child growth reference, 19% were stunted. Half of those who were stunted at antiretroviral therapy initiation remained stunted over time. Being male and having a low baseline height-for-age Z score of less than -1.0 were associated with low final height Z score.

The long-term outcomes of antiretroviral treatment initiated with mono or dual nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors in HIV-1-infected children: an Asian observational study

After a median of 115.9 months of follow-up, 90% of 206 HIV-1-infected children in a cohort in Asia who initiated antiretroviral treatment (ART) with mono or dual nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors were alive and had comparable immunological and virological outcomes as compared to the 1,915 children who had started with highly active antiretroviral regimens. However, these children had higher rates of treatment-related adverse events, opportunistic infections, and cumulative mortality, and were more likely to require protease inhibitor-containing regimens or other more novel ART-based regimens.

Fulltext Prevalence and incidence of liver dysfunction and assessment of biomarkers of liver disease in HIV-infected Asian children

Pediatr Infect Dis J, 2015 Jun;34(6):e153-8.

PMID: 25970117 DOI: 10.1097/INF.0000000000000693

We determined the prevalence and incidence of liver dysfunction before and after initiation of combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) in the TREAT Asia Pediatric HIV Observational Database.

Fulltext Weight as predictors of clinical progression and treatment failure: results from the TREAT Asia Pediatric HIV Observational Database

Kariminia A, Durier N, Jourdain G, Saghayam S, Do CV, Nguyen LV, et al.

J Acquir Immune Defic Syndr, 2014 Sep 01;67(1):71-6.

PMID: 24872132 DOI: 10.1097/QAI.0000000000000227

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the value of time-updated weight and height in predicting clinical progression, and immunological and virological failure in children receiving combination antiretroviral therapy (cART).

METHODS: We used Cox regression to analyze data of a cohort of Asian children.

RESULTS: A total of 2608 children were included; median age at cART was 5.7 years. Time-updated weight for age z score < -3 was associated with mortality (P < 0.001) independent of CD4% and < -2 was associated with immunological failure (P ≤ 0.03) independent of age at cART.

CONCLUSIONS: Weight monitoring provides useful data to inform clinical management of children on cART in resource-limited settings.

Fulltext Impact of antiretroviral therapy on opportunistic infections of HIV-infected children in the therapeutic research, education and AIDS training asia pediatric HIV observational database

Prasitsuebsai W, Kariminia A, Puthanakit T, Lumbiganon P, Hansudewechakul R, Siew Moy F, et al.

Pediatr Infect Dis J, 2014 Jul;33(7):747-52.

PMID: 24378942 DOI: 10.1097/INF.0000000000000226

There are limited data on opportunistic infections (OIs) and factors associated with their occurrence after highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) in Asian children. The use of HAART in Asia started much later than in developed countries and therefore reported findings may not be fully applicable to the pediatric HIV epidemic in Asia.
