to second-line antiretroviral therapy ({ART}) among children with {HIV} are necessary to inform the need for paediatric second-line formulations. {W}e aimed to quantify the cumulative incidence of switching to second-line {ART} among children in an international cohort collaboration. {M}ethods : {I}n this international cohort collaboration study, we pooled individual patient-level data for children younger than 18 years who initiated {ART} (two or more nucleoside reverse-transcriptase inhibitors [{NRTI}] plus a non-{NRTI} [{NNRTI}] or boosted protease inhibitor) between 1993 and 2015 from 12 observational cohort networks in the {C}ollaborative {I}nitiative for {P}aediatric {HIV} {E}ducation and {R}esearch ({CIPHER}) {G}lobal {C}ohort {C}ollaboration. {P}atients who were reported to be horizontally infected with {HIV} and those who were enrolled in trials of treatment monitoring, switching, or interruption strategies were excluded. {S}witch to second-line {ART} was defined as change of one or more {NRTI} plus either change in drug class ({NNRTI} to protease inhibitor or vice versa) or protease inhibitor change, change from single to dual protease inhibitor, or addition of a new drug class. {W}e used cumulative incidence curves to assess time to switching, and multivariable proportional hazards models to explore patient-level and cohort-level factors associated with switching, with death and loss to follow-up as competing risks. {F}indings : {A}t the data cutoff of {S}ept 16, 2015, 182 747 children with {HIV} were included in the {CIPHER} dataset, of whom 93 351 were eligible, with 83 984 (90.0%) from sub-{S}aharan {A}frica. {A}t {ART} initiation, the median patient age was 3.9 years ({IQR} 1.6-6.9) and 82 885 (88.8%) patients initiated {NNRTI}-based and 10 466 (11.2%) initiated protease inhibitor-based regimens. {M}edian duration of follow-up after {ART} initiation was 26 months ({IQR} 9-52). 3883 (4.2%) patients switched to second-line {ART} after a median of 35 months ({IQR} 20-57) of {ART}. {T}he cumulative incidence of switching at 3 years was 3.1% (95% {CI} 3.0-3.2), but this estimate varied widely depending on the cohort monitoring strategy, from 6.8% (6.5-7.2) in settings with routine monitoring of {CD}4 ({CD}4% or {CD}4 count) and viral load to 0.8% (0.6-1.0) in settings with clinical only monitoring. {I}n multivariable analyses, patient-level factors associated with an increased likelihood of switching were male sex, older age at {ART} initiation, and initial {NNRTI}-based regimen (p<0.0001). {C}ohort-level factors that increased the likelihood of switching were higher-income country (p=0.0017) and routine or targeted monitoring of {CD}4 and viral load (p<0.0001), which was associated with a 166% increase in likelihood of switching compared with {CD}4 only monitoring (subdistributional hazard ratio 2.66, 95% {CI} 2.22-3.19). {I}nterpretation : {O}ur global paediatric analysis found wide variations in the incidence of switching to second-line {ART} across monitoring strategies. {T}hese findings suggest the scale-up of viral load monitoring would probably increase demand for paediatric second-line {ART} formulations. {C}opyright ({C}) 2019 {E}lsevier {L}td. {A}ll rights reserved.}, keywords = {{MONDE}}, booktitle = {}, journal = {{T}he {L}ancet {HIV}}, volume = {6}, numero = {2}, pages = {e105--e115
