Prevalence and incidence of stroke among people with HIV.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

We aimed to obtain more precise estimates of stroke to address the wide variation of stroke burden among people with HIV (PWH) in different clinical settings.

Design

Systematic review and meta-analysis.

Methods

We systematically searched PubMed, EMBASE, and Web of Science for original articles reporting the prevalence and incidence of stroke among PWH up to November 23, 2022. Der Simonian-Laird random effects were used to obtain pooled estimates and 95% confidence intervals (CIs).

Results

We included 17 observational studies covering 1 749 003 PWH on estimation of prevalence, and 17 cohort studies covering 249 606 PWH on estimation of incidence. The pooled prevalence of stroke was 1.30% (95% CI: 1.01%, 1.59%) for PWH aged at least 15 years, and 3.98%
