Comprehensive coronary CT angiography in people living with HIV: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

People living with HIV (PLWH) were previously shown to have a higher prevalence of non-calcified coronary plaque with discrepant results for coronary stenosis and any plaque prevalence. This systematic review and meta-analysis summarise and estimate pooled effect sizes for observational studies among PLWH using comprehensive coronary CT angiography (CTA).

Design

Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-analysis reporting guidelines were used.

Data sources

PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, CINAHL, Cochrane Clinical Trials and EBM were searched from inception to 23 February 2024.

Eligibility criteria

We included studies evaluating coronary atherosclerosis in adult PLWH with controls and CTA results for plaque prevalence, extent, severity
