Widespread treatment may not eliminate advanced HIV. This study investigated the prevalence, characteristics, risk factors, and clinical outcomes of advanced HIV disease (AHD) in newly diagnosed HIV-positive individuals in China during the “treat-all” period.Patients and methods: We performed a retrospective cohort study on newly diagnosed adult ART-naive people with HIV (PWH) in Xi’an from 2016 to 2022. The prevalence of AHD and six-month mortality/loss to follow-up (LTFU) were investigated. Risk variables for AHD and predictors of mortality or LTFU in the cohort were investigated using multivariate logistic and Cox regression, respectively.Results: Of the PWH, 47.5% (2999/6318) had AHD at HIV diagnosis. At enrollment, being ≥ 50 years (aOR: 1.75, 95% CI: 1.44– 2.12, P < 0.001; ≥ 50 vs 18– 29), 30– 49 years (aOR: 1.43, 95% CI: 1.24– 1.65, P < 0.001; 30– 49 vs 18– 29), opportunity infections (aOR: 7.43, 95% CI: 5.96– 9.35, P < 0.001), severe anemia (aOR: 3.56, 95% CI: 1.81– 7.70, P = 0.001) and liver disease (aOR: 3.09, 95% CI: 1.48– 7.05, P = 0.004) were independently associated with AHD. Within 6 months of enrollment, 95.6% and 58.3% of those who died or were LTFU had AHD. AHD (aHR: 14.30, 95% CI: 4.42– 46.30, P < 0.001), ≥ 50 years (aHR: 5.39, 95% CI: 2.10– 13.82, P < 0.001; ≥ 50 years vs 18– 29 years), those with opportunistic infections (aHR: 2.59, 95% CI: 1.54– 4.34, P < 0.001), and severe anemia (aHR: 9.89, 95% CI: 5.19– 18.87, P < 0.001) were independent predictors of six-month mortality.Conclusion: Under the “treat-all” policy, Xi’an had a high prevalence of AHD upon HIV diagnosis. AHD predicted 6-month mortality. Urgent implementation of targeted strategies is necessary to minimize AHD.Keywords: advanced HIV disease, HIV, mortality, loss to follow-up, treat all, China |
