Hospitalization Rates and Outcomes Among Persons Living With Human Immunodeficiency Virus in the Southeastern United States, 1996-2016.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Antiretroviral therapy (ART) advances, aging, and comorbidities impact hospitalizations in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive populations. We examined temporal trends and patient characteristics associated with hospitalization rates and outcomes.

Methods

Among patients in the University of North Carolina Center for AIDS Research HIV Clinical Cohort receiving care during 1996-2016, we estimated annual hospitalization rates, time to inpatient mortality or live discharge, and 30-day readmission risk using bivariable Poisson, Fine-Gray, and log-binomial regression models.

Results

The 4323 included patients (29% women, 60% African American) contributed 30 007 person-years. Overall, the hospitalization rate per 100 person-years was 34.3 (95% confidence i
