Resource Use and Cost Associated With Cardiovascular, Renal, Bone, and Neuropsychiatric Comorbidities in People With HIV in Spain.

ABSTRACT: Background: Antiretroviral therapies (ART) have significantly improved the life expectancy of people with HIV (PLWH). However, chronic immune activation and some ART regimens may increase the prevalence of non-HIV comorbidities, such as cardiovascular, renal, bone, and neuropsychiatric conditions. These comorbidities increase healthcare resource utilization and costs for the Spanish National Health System (NHS), yet data on their economic impact remain scarce. Objective: To estimate the healthcare resource use and costs associated with cardiovascular, renal, bone, and neuropsychiatric comorbidities in PLWH from the Spanish NHS perspective and to simulate the financial impact of a potential prevalence increase due to ART toxicity. Methods: An Excel-based model was used
