Random-effects meta-analysis results for risk of preterm birth associated with women living with HIV receiving ART regimens containing different protease inhibitors (PIs). Relative risk (RR) and 95% confidence interval (95% CI) are displayed. A RR > 1 indicates increased risk of a preterm birth associated with the ART regimen in the row compared to the regimen in the column. For example, LPV/r-ART is associated with an increased risk of preterm birth compared to NFV-ART (RR 1.33, 95% CI 1.03–1.72). Forest plots of pairwise meta-analyses of ART regimens containing different protease inhibitors can be found in Appendix pp 36–74.
