Excess mortality attributable to AIDS among people living with HIV in high-income countries: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Identifying strategies to further reduce AIDS-related mortality requires accurate estimates of the extent to which mortality among people living with HIV (PLHIV) is due to AIDS-related or non-AIDS-related causes. Existing approaches to estimating AIDS-related mortality have quantified AIDS-related mortality as total mortality among PLHIV in excess of age- and sex-matched mortality in populations without HIV. However, recent evidence suggests that, with high antiretroviral therapy (ART) coverage, a growing proportion of excess mortality among PLHIV is non-AIDS-related.

Methods

We searched Embase on 22/09/2023 for English language studies that contained data on AIDS-related mortality rates among adult PLHIV and age-matched comparator all-cause mortality rates amon
