ART antiretroviral therapy, NNRTI non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor, PI protease inhibitor, INSTI integrase strand transfer inhibitor, CI confidence interval

Two patients who had multiple prescription records of anchor drug class in the second regimen were excluded from the analysis

Entry inhibitor was excluded from the table as only two patients were prescribed an entry inhibitor in the first/second ART regimen
