Characteristics, clinical outcomes, and mortality of older adults living with HIV receiving antiretroviral treatment in the sub-urban and rural areas of northern Thailand. | LitMetric

Since the introduction of antiretroviral treatment (ART), people living with HIV worldwide live into older age. This observational study described the characteristics, clinical outcomes, and mortality of older adults living with HIV (OALHIV) receiving ART from the National AIDS program in northern Thailand. Participants aged ≥ 50 years were recruited from the HIV clinics in 12 community hospitals. Data were obtained from medical records and face-to-face interviews. In 2015, 362 OALHIV were enrolled; their median (interquartile range) age and ART duration were 57 years (54-61), and 8.8 years (6.4-11.2), respectively. At study entry, 174 (48.1%) had CD4 counts ≥ 500 cells/mm3; 357 of 358 (99.6%) with available HIV RNA results were virologic-suppressed. At the year 5 follow-up, 39 died, 11 were transferred to other hospitals, 3 were lost to follow-up, and 40 did not contribute data for this analysis, but remained in care. Among the 269 who appeared, 149 (55%) had CD4 counts ≥ 500 cells/mm3, and 227/229 tested (99%) were virologic-suppressed. The probability of 5-year overall survival was 89.2% (95% confidence interval, CI 85.4-92.1%). A significantly low 5-year overall survival (66%) was observed in OALHIV with CD4 counts < 200 cells/mm3 at study entry. The most common cause of death was organ failure in 11 (28%), followed by malignancies in 8 (21%), infections in 5 (13%), mental health-related conditions in 2 (5%), and unknown in 13 (33%). In OALHIV with stable HIV treatment outcomes, mortality from non-infectious causes was observed. Monitoring of organ function, cancer surveillance, and mental health screening are warranted.
