Mashup Score: 0COVID-19 Severity in People With HIV Compared With Those... : JAIDS Journal of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndromes - 18 hour(s) ago
cal record data from 3 large clinical practice groups. We then used regression models to compare outcomes among PWH versus propensity score–matched people without HIV (matched 20:1) for severe COVID-19 (pneumonia or acute respiratory distress syndrome), hospitalization, and hospital length of stay. Results: We identified 171,058 individuals with COVID-19; among them, 768 PWH were matched to 15,360 individuals without HIV. Overall, severe COVID-19 and hospitalization were similar in PWH and those without HIV (severe COVID-19: 3.8% vs 3.0%, adjusted odds ratio [OR] 1.27, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.86–1.87; hospitalization: 12.1% vs 11.3%, adjusted OR: 1.08, 95% CI: 0.87 to 1.35). Compared with people without HIV, PWH with low CD4 T-cell counts (<200 cells/mm3) had more severe COVID-19 (adjusted OR: 3.99, 95% CI: 2.06 to 7.74) and hospitalization (adjusted OR: 2.26, 95% CI: 1.35 to 3.80), but PWH with high CD4 counts had lower odds of hospitalization (adjusted OR: 0.73, 95% CI: 0.52

Study from @harvardmed & @MassDPH shows PWH with low CD4 counts have a greater risk for severe COVID-19 outcomes; PWH with high CD4 counts have outcomes comparable to those w/o #HIV. Nirmatrelvir/ritonavir works and is underutilized treatment. 🔗 https://t.co/WMbHoh23ln https://t.co/NFy2UP7BE6
