Objective: To assess updated mortality and causes of death in people living with HIV (PLWH) in France. Design and Methods: We analyzed all deaths in PLWH followed up between 01/01/2020 and 31/12/2021 in 11 hospitals in the Paris region. We described the characteristics and causes of death among deceased PLWH, and evaluated the incidence of mortality and associated risk factors using a multivariate logistic regression. Results: Of the 12942 patients followed in 2020-2021, 202 deaths occurred. Mean annual incidence of death (95% confidence interval [CI]) was 7.8 per 1 000 PLWH (6.3–9.5). Forty-seven patients (23%) died from non-AIDS non-viral hepatitis (NANH)-related malignancies, 38 (19%) from non-AIDS infections (including 21 cases of COVID-19), 20 (10%) from AIDS, 19 (9%) from cardiovascular diseases (CVD), 17 (8.4%) from other causes, six (3%) from liver diseases and five (2.5%) from suicides/violent deaths. The cause of death was unknown in 50 (24.7%) patients. Risks factors for death were age (adjusted Odds Ratio (aOR) 1.93; 1.66–2.25 by additional decade), AIDS history (2.23; 1.61–3.09), low CD4 (1.95; 1.36–2.78 for 200–500/μL and 5.76; 3.65–9.08 for ≤ 200/μL versus > 500/μL), and viral load > 50 copies/mL (2.03; 1.33–3.08), both at last visit. Conclusions: NANH malignancies remained in 2020–2021 the first cause of death. COVID-19 accounted for more than half of the mortality related to non-AIDS infections over the period. Aging, AIDS history, and a poorer viro-immunological control were associated with death.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
