Table 1. Descriptive Statistics VA Virtual Cohort (n=16,573) BACKGROUND • HIV has become a complex chronic disease with extended life expectancy and concomitant long term exposure to antiretroviral (ARV) therapy. Baseline Demographics • Common long-term drug toxicities with ARV therapy appear as comorbid conditions. Male • In pre-approval trials, 13 of 6840 patients (0.20%) exposed to tipranavir (TPV) have developed intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) at an incident rate of 0.26 per 100 person years of exposure (95% CI 0.09, 0.61). It is unknown whether this rate exceeds that observed with other, non TPV containing HAART regimens. • We identified HIV-infected individuals under care in the U.S. between October 1997 and December 2003 through the US Veterans Healthcare System-derived Virtual Cohort 1 and the California state Medicaid (Medi-Cal) program 2. • In the Virtual Cohort, patients were identified as being HIV infected by virtue of having at least two outpatient or one inpatient codes for HIV. This algorithm was validated against the VA Immunology Case Registry Data which requires each VA site to confirm the HIV status of patients included in the registry. • HIV infected Medi-Cal enrollees were identified by the Medical Care Statistical Section of Medi-Cal using case identification from claims and eligibility data developed for ongoing review of HIV-related costs and utilization. AIDS was determined by either two outpatient or one inpatient claims for AIDS or confirmation in the California AIDS Registry. • ICH was identified using ICD-9 codes (430.xx, 431.xx and 432.xx, except 432.0) 3. Subjects who had ICD-9 codes indicating trauma or ischemic stroke complicated with intracranial hemorrhage were excluded. Other diagnoses were identified using standard, validated, ICD-9 code groupings.

Events occurring after this point were considered incident. Active medications are defined as any drug for which the patient has a prescription that would not have run out on or by the baseline date. Neither database captures nonprescription nonsteroidal anti inflammatory agents such as aspirin. Hypertension, diabetes, coronary heart disease, alcohol abuse and dependence, and liver disease are determined based upon the presence of ICD-9 diagnostic codes. FINDINGS 0.7 0.6 0.5 0.4 0.3 0.2 0.1 0 • Sample included 16,573 veterans and 33,037 California Medicaid recipients for a total of 49,610 individuals with HIV infection • Veterans were older (>40 years of age); more likely to be male (98% vs. 74%), and less likely to have developed AIDS (36% vs. 74%) compared to Medi-Cal recipients (Table 1, p<0.001). • Within 12 months before baseline and 6 months after baseline, there were 25 ICH prevalent cases 0.2% (95% CI 0.1-0.2%) within the VA and 173 ICH prevalent cases 0.5% (95% CI 0.4-0.6%) within Medi-Cal. • The VA Virtual Cohort observed 27 incident cases 0.07 (95% CI: 0.05-0.10) per 100 PY and Medi-Cal observed 274 incident cases 0.23 (0.5 CI: 0.20-0.25) per 100 PY. VA AIDS • Overall and in every stratified analyses, the prevalence and incidence of ICH was lower among veterans than among those receiving Medi-Cal coverage (Table 2 and 3, p<0.001).

Prevalence (%) of ICH by Important Covariates* •Over 40 years of age •With hypertension, diabetes, or coronary artery disease •With alcohol abuse •With an AIDS defining illness • Prevalence and incidence of ICH did not differ by active receipt of protease inhibitors or HAART. CONCLUSIONS REFERENCES • VA incidence rates of ICH were lower than those observed in pre marketing trials of Tipranavir, but Medi-Cal rates were similar (Figure 1). 1. Fultz SL, Skanderson M, Mole LA et al. Development and verification of a ‘virtual’ cohort using the National VA Health Information System. Medical Care 2006; 44(8 Suppl 2): S25-S30. • ICH events may be less completely captured: •In observational databases using ICD-9 codes than in prospective clinical trials •in the VA because patients with acute life threatening conditions may go to the nearest hospital rather than a VA facility for emergency care. • While many risk factors for ICH established outside HIV infection appear to apply, we do not see increased rates of ICH among women compared to men. 2.
