Overview

Retrospective analysis shows mortality relates to viral load and tuberculosis prophylaxis in PLHIV.

Key Points

  • The mortality rate among individuals with advanced HIV disease was 5.4 per 100 person-years, indicating a serious health threat.
  • Significant factors contributing to mortality included age ≥ 50 years, non-suppression of viral load, and no tuberculosis prophylaxis.
  • Retrospective review of electronic medical records from 1161 PLHIV with advanced HIV disease over a four-year period was conducted.
  • These findings highlight the need for improved early identification and management strategies for patients with advanced HIV disease.
