Survival analysis of HIV-infected patients on antiretroviral therapy during 2006-2019 in Taizhou City
Journal Title: Shanghai Journal of Preventive Medicine - Year 2021, Vol 33, Issue 9
Abstract
<b>Objective:To examine the survival status and explore factors related to death among human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infected patients receiving antiretroviral therapy (ART) in Taizhou City during 2006‒2019. <b>Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted to analyze the data on HIV-infected patients receiving ART in Taizhou during 2006‒2019. Kaplan-Meier (K-M) method was used to calculate the cumulative survival rate and cumulative treatment success rate. Cox regression model was used to determine survival status and factors associated with ART. <b>Results:A total of 2 904 HIV-infected patients was included. The cumulative survival rate after 1, 3, 5, and 8 years of ART were 96.9%, 94.9%, 93.1% and 92.1%, respectively, and the cumulative treatment response rate were 91.3%, 85.3%, 81.8% and 73.8%, respectively. Compared with aged 18-30 years old, baseline CD4<sup>+</sup>T cell >350 count/μL, normal hemoglobin level, effective ART, no clinical symptom at baseline, and homosexual transmission, we found that aged 51-60 years old(<italic>HR</italic>=4.94,95%<italic>CI</italic>:1.66-14.69), aged over 60 years old(<italic>HR</italic>=9.14,95%<italic>CI</italic>:3.14-26.63), anemia at baseline(<italic>HR</italic>=2.24,95%<italic>CI</italic>:1.55-3.23), baseline CD4<sup>+</sup>T cell <200 count/μL(<italic>HR</italic>=4.35,95%<italic>CI</italic>:2.14-8.86), ART failure (<italic>HR</italic>=3.90,95%<italic>CI</italic>:2.73-5.58), heterosexual transmission(<italic>HR</italic>=1.92,95%<italic>CI</italic>:1.15-3.20), and signs of symptom at baseline(<italic>HR</italic>=1.68,95%<italic>CI</italic>:1.16-2.41) were risk factors of HIV-related death. <b>Conclusion:The effect of ART in Taizhou City is confirmed with a high cumulative survival rate and treatment success. We should pay additional attention to senior HIV-infected patients with anemia at baseline and intensively monitor the effect of ART. Interventions such as “treat after discover” are supposed to be implemented more widely to further reduce HIV-related mortality.
