Symptomatic human immunodeficiency virus infection is associated with advanced presentation and perioperative mortality in patients undergoing surgery for peripheral arterial disease.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Prior studies have demonstrated an increased risk of developing cardiovascular and peripheral arterial disease (PAD) in patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). However, the effect of chronic HIV infection in patients with preexisting PAD and requiring vascular intervention is unclear. In the present study, we assessed the differences in clinical presentation and perioperative outcomes for patients with PAD who had undergone revascularization or amputation with and without HIV infection.

Methods

International Classification of Diseases, 9th and 10th Revisions, Clinical Modification, codes were used to identify patients with a prior diagnosis of PAD who had undergone lower extremity revascularization or amputation in the National Inpatient Sample (2003-2017
