Abstract
BACKGROUND Understanding demographic disparities in hospitalisation is crucial for the identification of vulnerable populations, interventions, and resource planning. METHODS Data were from the Antiretroviral Therapy Cohort Collaboration (ART-CC) on people living with HIV in Europe and North America, followed up between January, 2007 and December, 2020. We investigated differences in all-cause hospitalisation according to gender and mode of HIV acquisition, ethnicity, and combined geographical origin and ethnicity, in people living with HIV on modern combination antiretroviral therapy (cART). Analyses were performed separately for European and North American cohorts. Hospitalisation rates were assessed using negative binomial multilevel regression, adjusted for age, time since cART intitiaion, and calendar year. FINDINGS Among 23 594 people living with HIV in Europe and 9612 in North America, hospitalisation rates per 100 person-years were 16·2 (95% CI 16·0-16·4) and 13·1 (12·8-13·5). Compared with gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men, rates were higher for heterosexual men and women, and much higher for men and women who acquired HIV through injection drug use (adjusted incidence rate ratios ranged from 1·2 to 2·5 in Europe and from 1·2 to 3·3 in North America). In both regions, individuals with geographical origin other than the region of study generally had lower hospitalisation rates compared with those with geographical origin of the study country. In North America, Indigenous people and Black or African American individuals had higher rates than White individuals (adjusted incidence rate ratios 1·9 and 1·2), whereas Asian and Hispanic people living with HIV had somewhat lower rates. In Europe there was a lower rate in Asian individuals compared with White individuals. INTERPRETATION Substantial disparities exist in all-cause hospitalisation between demographic groups of people living with HIV in the current cART era in high-income settings, highlighting the need for targeted support.

Trends in rates and causes of hospitalization among people living with HIV in the antiretroviral therapy era: A retrospective cohort study in China, 2008-2020. Front Public Health 2022; 10:1000942. [PMID: 36424978 PMCID: PMC9680952 DOI: 10.3389/fpubh.2022.1000942] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/22/2022] [Accepted: 09/20/2022] [Indexed: 11/09/2022] Open
Abstract
Background The introduction of antiretroviral therapy (ART) has resulted in marked reductions in morbidity among people living with HIV (PLWH). Monitoring the hospitalizations of PLWH is important in evaluating the quality of healthcare and forecasting the co-morbidity pattern. We aimed to describe the trends in the rates and causes of hospitalization among PLWH who initiated ART in an HIV-designated hospital in China. Methods PLWH who initiated ART and were hospitalized in Beijing Ditan Hospital from 2008 to 2020 were selected for the study. Hospitalizations were classified based on AIDS-defining events (ADEs), non-AIDS-defining events (nADEs), and other causes. Hospitalization rates were calculated in terms of person-years, with risk factors determined by Poisson regression. The proportion of hospitalization causes at different ART treatment statuses was also evaluated. Results A total of 9,404 patients (94.7% were male patients) were included, contributing to 49,419 person-years. Overall, 1,551 PLWH were hospitalized for 2,667 hospitalization events, among which 60.4% of hospitalizations were due to ADEs, 11.4% were due to nADEs, and 28.2% were due to other causes. Unadjusted hospitalization rates decreased for all causes and all three diagnostic categories with year. After adjusting for the variables that changed substantially over time, ADE-related [IRR, 1.01 (0.96-1.05)] and nADE-related hospitalization rates [IRR, 0.92 (0.84-1.01)] appeared stable. Hospitalization for ADEs constituted an increasing proportion over time (36.3% in 2008-57.4% in 2020), especially in ART-naive inpatients (43.8% in 2008-83.3% in 2020). The proportion of nADE-related hospitalizations remained low (9.0% in 2008-15.4% in 2020). Hospitalization rate was highest for patients treated with ART during the first 6 months after ART initiation (46.2%) when ADEs were still the leading cause of hospitalizations (30.6%). Older age, non-men who have sex with men transmission, late presenters, HIV viral load (VL) > 50 copies/mL, and CD4 counts ≤ 200 cells/μL were associated with a higher hospitalization risk (all P < 0.05). Conclusion Despite some progress, ADEs remain the most common and serious problem among PLWH in China. In order to avoid deteriorating to the stage of needing hospitalization, more work is needed to diagnose and treat HIV infection earlier.
