Comparing short-term mortality between people with and without HIV admitted to the intensive care unit: A single-centre matched cohort study (2000-2019).

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

The survival rate of people with HIV admitted to intensive care units (ICUs) is approaching that of people without HIV. We conducted a matched-cohort study of people with and without HIV admitted to ICU at a large hospital to compare short-term mortality, during 2000-2019.

Methods

People with HIV were matched to people without HIV (1:2) on age, sex, admission year and Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE)-II score. Applying logistic regression models fitted using independence estimating equations, we describe population-averaged associations of HIV with short-term (in-ICU, in-hospital) mortality during a patient's first admission to ICU, and explore whether these varied by year.

Results

A total of 177 people with HIV were matched to 354 pe
