The Association of Anemia With Survival Among People With HIV Following Antiretroviral Initiation in the NA-ACCORD 2007-2016.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Anemia is an independent predictor of mortality, which may be utilized as a signal of deteriorating health. We estimated the association between anemia severity categories and mortality following the initiation of antiretroviral therapy (ART) among people with HIV (PWH) in North America.

Methods

Within the NA-ACCORD, annual median hemoglobin measurements between January 01, 2007, and December 31, 2016, were categorized using World Health Organization criteria into mild (11.0-12.9 g/dL men, 11.0-11.9 g/dL women), moderate (8.0-10.9 g/dL men/women), and severe (<8.0 g/dL men/women) anemia. Discrete time-to-event analyses using complementary log-log link models estimated mortality hazard ratios adjusted for demographics, comorbidities, and HIV clinical markers with 9
