All-Cause Mortality Rates Among People With HIV Decreased Until 2009, Then Stabilized, Study Finds

Infectious Disease Advisor (7/1, McSwiggin) reports, “Among patients with HIV infection, all-cause mortality rates decreased from 1999 to 2009 but remained stable from 2010 to 2020. These study results were published in Clinical Infectious Diseases.” In the study, “researchers observed reductions in the annual rate of all-cause mortality over time (adjusted rate ratio [aRR], 0.97; 95% CI, 0.96-0.98). However, stratified by calendar period, the annual rate of all-cause mortality decreased from 1999 to 2009 (aRR, 0.96; 95% CI, 0.95-0.97) but remained stable from 2010 to 2020 (aRR, 1.00; 95% CI, 0.96-1.05).”
