Cardiovascular disease and its risk factors among people living with HIV: A systematic review and meta-analysis

This meta-analysis aimed to quantify the latest cardiovascular disease (CVD) incidence rate and assess the impact of risk factors among people living with HIV (PLWH). We searched PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Scopus, and the Cochrane Library for studies published up to September 14, 2023. To evalu...

description This meta-analysis aimed to quantify the latest cardiovascular disease (CVD) incidence rate and assess the impact of risk factors among people living with HIV (PLWH). We searched PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Scopus, and the Cochrane Library for studies published up to September 14, 2023. To evaluate effect sizes, we employed multilevel (three-level) random-effects meta-analyses. The pooled incidence rate of CVD was 6.31 per 1000 person-years. Among the 14 risk factors analyzed, the most prevalent was a history of CVD (odds ratio [OR]=3.47), followed by age (per 10-year increase) (OR=1.79), current smoking (OR=1.76), hypertension (OR=1.57), smoking (OR=1.53), diabetes (OR=1.50), previous smoking (OR=1.30), and hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection (OR=1.18). However, there was no statistical significance associated with HIV-specific factors (abacavir use, efavirenz use, and CD4 nadir, etc.). The CVD incidence rate was high among PLWH, with risk factors including both conventional CVD risk factors and HCV infection. There is an urgent need for more high-quality research to better understand the effects of HIV progression and drug use.
