Vieillissement et infection par le VIH : suivi de 149 patients âgés de plus de 60ans infectés par le VIH (COREVIH Île-de-France Ouest)

[Outcome of acute renal failure in subjects with HIV living in Abidjan, Ivory Coast over the period 1st January 2014 to 31st December 2017]

En Côte d'Ivoire, la prévalence de l'infection au virus de l'immunodéficience humaine (VIH) est élevée. Tous les organes peuvent être atteints, en particulier le rein. Certaines études en Côte d'Ivoire ont retrouvé les infections opportunistes comme facteur de mauvais pronostic de l'insuffisance rénale aiguë (IRA). L'objectif de cette étude était de rechercher les éventuels autres facteurs associés à l'évolution de l'IRA chez les personnes infectées par le VIH. Une étude rétrospective, analytique, menée au Centre Hospitalier et Universitaire de Yopougon de janvier 2014 à décembre 2017. Etaient inclus tous les patients âgés de plus de 18 ans, infectés par le VIH et ayant présenté une IRA. Soixante-treize (73) patients ont été inclus, soit une prévalence de 24%. L'âge moyen des patients était de 39,32 ± 10,50 ans avec des extrêmes de 18 et 65 ans. Un sexe ratio de 1,6 en faveur des femmes. L'obésité (p=0,047; OR=8,72; IC (95%)=1,07-39,21) et le taux de CD4< 200/mm³ (p=0,000; OR=58,50; IC (95%)=10,31-55,12) étaient associés à un mauvais pronostic de l'IRA. En Côte d'Ivoire, la prévalence hospitalière l'IRA au cours du VIH demeure élevée. Son évolution est défavorable avec le décès ou le passage à la chronicité. En plus de l'immunodépression profonde déjà connue comme facteur de mauvais pronostic, cette étude a montré que l'obésité était associée à une évolution défavorable de l'IRA chez les personnes vivant avec le VIH.

Profiles of Elderly People Infected with HIV and Response to Antiretroviral Treatment in Burkina Faso: A Retrospective Cohort Study

BACKGROUND

In sub-Saharan Africa, few studies exist on elderly HIV-positive populations. Therefore, we aimed to examine the profiles of elderly people living with HIV (PLHIV) in Burkina Faso and their response to antiretroviral therapy (ART).

METHODS

We reviewed the monitoring and treatment of PLHIV over the age of 50 years and then compared with the monitoring and treatment of PLHIV under 50 years.

RESULTS

A total of 3367 patients were included. The median age of elderly people was 54.5 years and of young people was 34.9 years ( P = .03). In both the groups, screening was performed following clinical suspicion (64.9% in elderly versus 56% in young people; P < .001). Cardiovascular risk factors were generally more significant in the elderly people. The risk of death while on ART was 2.3 times higher in elderly people ( P < .001).

CONCLUSION

HIV infection in older people occurs in those who already have some cardiovascular risk factors. Particular attention should be given to multidisciplinary care for the elderly individuals.

Risk Factors for Early Mortality on Antiretroviral Treatment of Elderly People Infected with HIV in Burkina Faso

BACKGROUND

Age is a key determinant of mortality due to diseases including HIV infection.

METHODS

A retrospective and descriptive cohort study used a computerized database to compare HIV-infected patients diagnosed in late adulthood to a group of patients diagnosed before their 49 years of age, without matching the characteristics of HIV infection. The study included patients who visited the day hospital (outpatient clinic) of the Sanou Souro Teaching Hospital of Bobo-Dioulasso, in Burkina Faso, from January 2007 to December 2011. Older adults were defined as those aged 50 years and more.

RESULTS

Participants in the study consisted of 2572 patients (265 older adults and 2307 young patients living with HIV. Based on Markov chain method, 32.1% of the older adults living with HIV were found to be seroconvert at 50 years or older. The median follow-up time on antiretroviral treatment (ART) was 32.7 months (range 0.03-65.4 months). Two hundred and ninety-five (11.5%) patients died, including 21.1% of older adults and 10.4% of young (P < .01). World Health Organization stage 3 or 4 and the lowest CD4 count reached <200 cells/mm(3) were the factors associated with early mortality of older adults on ART.

CONCLUSION

Mortality rate of older adult patients living with HIV in Burkina Faso is high. Early diagnosis, early treatment, and primary prevention of HIV infection in the older adults are the main keys that could help reduce such mortality.
