Life expectancy and mortality among males and females with HIV in British Columbia in 1996-2020: a population-based cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Life expectancy of people with HIV has increased considerably. We used data from the Comparative Outcomes And Service Utilization Trends (COAST) study to examine sex differences in life expectancy and mortality between 1996 and 2020 among people with HIV in British Columbia (BC), Canada.

Methods

COAST, a population-based cohort study, includes clinical and administrative health data on virtually all people with HIV in BC. We calculated life expectancy for people with HIV at ages 20, 40, and 55 years stratified by sex and calendar period. We used Cox regression to model associations between sex and all-cause and cause-specific mortality, adjusting for individual and social determinants of health.

Findings

11 738 males (82·2%) and 2534 females (17·8%) of 14 2
