The likelihood of severe COVID-19 outcomes among PLHIV with various comorbidities: a comparative frequentist and Bayesian meta-analysis approach.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The SARS-CoV-2 virus can currently pose a serious health threat and can lead to severe COVID-19 outcomes, especially for populations suffering from comorbidities. Currently, the data available on the risk for severe COVID-19 outcomes due to an HIV infection with or without comorbidities paint a heterogenous picture. In this meta-analysis, we summarized the likelihood for severe COVID-19 outcomes among people living with HIV (PLHIV) with or without comorbidities.

Methods

Following PRISMA guidelines, we utilized PubMed, Web of Science and medRxiv to search for studies describing COVID-19 outcomes in PLHIV with or without comorbidities up to 25 June 2021. Consequently, we conducted two meta-analyses, based on a classic frequentist and Bayesian perspective of higher
