Impact of Age-related Comorbidities on Five-year Overall Mortality among Elderly HIV-Infected Patients in the Late HAART Era--Role of Chronic Renal Disease.

OBJECTIVES: To identify main prognostic factors for 5-year mortality among age-related comorbidities (ARCs) in older people living with HIV (PLHIV).

DESIGN: A prospective, multicentre cohort study with a 5-year follow-up period in the late HAART era (from January 2008 to December 2012).

SETTING: The Dat'AIDS cohort involving 12 French hospitals.

PARTICIPANTS: All actively followed HIV-1 infected patients aged 60 or older.

MEASUREMENTS: The study endpoint was all-cause five-year mortality. The following ARCs were considered: chronic renal disease, cardiovascular diseases, cancer, chronic pulmonary disease, cirrhosis, diabetes and nutritional status. Hepatitis C (HCV), hepatitis B (HBV) co-infection and sociodemographic characteristics were also evaluated. Cox's Proportional Hazards model was used for multivariate analysis.

RESULTS: Among 1415 PLHIV aged 60 or more patients included, mean age was 66±5.5 years; 154 died (mortality rate 2.47/100 patient-years). The most prevalent ARCs were chronic renal disease (20.1%), diabetes (14.2%) and cardiovascular diseases (12.2%). By multivariate analysis, chronic renal disease (adjusted hazard ratio (aHR)=2.25; 95% confidence interval (CI) [1.58-2.21]; p<10-4), cardiovascular diseases (aHR=2.40; 95%CI[1.64-3.52]; p<10-4), non-HIV related cancer (aHR=1.91; 95%CI[1.20-3.05]; p=0.007), cirrhosis (aHR=2.99; 95%CI[1.68-5.33]; p<10-3), HCV co-infection (aHR=2.00; 95%CI[1.18-3.38]; p=0.009), low body mass index (aHR=2.42; 95%CI[1.46-4.01]; p<10-3) and CD4 cell count < 200 cells/µl (aHR=2.23; 95%CI[1.36-3.65]; p=0.002) were independently associated with 5 year mortality.

CONCLUSION: Due to a high prevalence, chronic renal disease and cardiovascular disease are main prognostic factors for 5-year mortality among aged PLHIV.
