Abbreviations: ART, antiretroviral therapy; CS, cohort study; IQR, interquartile range; NA, genotype not available; NS, not specified; POC, prospective observational cohort; RCT, randomized controlled trial.

aAs proportion of total at-risk population; adjusted for proportion who underwent sequencing. Major protease resistance mutations as defined by the Stanford HIV drug resistance database [9].

bAs proportion of failure population; adjusted for proportion who underwent sequencing.

cResistance refers to intermediate or high-level resistance to lopinavir only.

dAll patients received lopinavir/ritonavir apart from participants in the Ciaffi et al study [15]; 33% were randomized to darunavir/ritonavir, and the remainder received lopinavir/ritonavir.

eStandard deviation.
