Association between late access to care and mortality for PWH: insights from the French Hospital Database on HIV (ANRS CO4-FHDH) from 2002 to 2016.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Using three categories of stages of HIV disease at access to care (advanced, intermediate, early HIV disease), we explored the impact of delayed access on the risk of death at up to 5 years and whether progress in antiretroviral regimens has mitigated this impact.

Methods

Adults from the French Hospital Database on HIV (ANRS CO4-FHDH) cohort with HIV-1 infection and first access to care during 2002-2021 were included. To study the impact of the stage of HIV disease at first access to care on the risk of death, only participants included from 2002 to 2016 were analysed to allow for at least 5 years of follow-up until 31 December 2021. Fine and Gray competing risk models considering lost to follow-up as a competing event were used adjusting for age, gender, mode o
