Characteristics and outcomes of COVID-19 in patients with HIV: a multicentre research network study
Objective:
We studied clinical outcomes of COVID-19 infection in patients living with HIV (PLH) in comparison to non-HIV population.
Design:
Analysis of a multicentre research network TriNETX was performed including patients more than 10 years of age diagnosed with COVID-19.
Methods:
Outcomes in COVID-19 positive patients with concurrent HIV (PLH) were compared with a propensity-matched cohort of patients without HIV (non-PLH).
Results:
Fifty thousand one hundred and sixty-seven patients with COVID-19 were identified (49,763 non-PLH, 404 PLH). PLH were more likely to be men, African–American, obese and have concurrent hypertension, diabetes, chronic kidney disease and nicotine dependence compared with non-PLH cohort (all P values
