Increased kidney disease mortality among people with AIDS versus the general population: a population-based cohort study in Italy, 2006-2018.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

This study aimed to assess whether an excess mortality related to kidney and other urinary tract diseases exists among Italian people with AIDS (PWA), as compared with the general population without AIDS (non-PWA).

Design

Population-based, retrospective cohort study.

Setting and participants

We conducted a nationwide study including 9481 Italian PWA, aged 15-74 years, reported to the National AIDS Registry between 2006 and 2018.

Methods

Vital status and causes of death were retrieved by record linkage with the National Register of Causes of Death up to 2018. Excess mortality for PWA versus non-PWA was estimated through sex-standardised and age-standardised mortality ratios (SMRs) with corresponding 95% CIs.

Results

Among 2613 deceased PWA, 262
