Trends in the risk of myocardial infarction among HIV-1-infected individuals relative to the general population in France: Impact of gender and immune status.

ABSTRACT: We examined trends in the MI incidence and age at MI diagnosis among adults living with HIV-1 between 2000 and 2009, by comparison with the French MI registries, by gender. Age standardized incidence rates and standardized incidence-ratios (SIRs) were estimated for individuals included in the French hospital database on HIV (n = 71 204, MI = 663) during three periods: 2000-2002, 2003-2005 and 2006-2009. Median ages at MI diagnosis were compared using the Brown-Mood test. Over the study periods, the absolute rate difference and relative risks were higher in women than in men in 2000-2002 and 2006-2009, with respective SIRs 1.99 (1.39-2.75) and 1.12 (0.99-1.27) in 2006-2009. The trends were different for men and women with a decreasing trend in SIRs in men and no change in women. In both sex
