Survival of HIV/AIDS patients with antiretroviral therapy initiated in 2005-2020:an analysis based on data from Fengtai District of Beijing
Objective To study the status and associated factors of survival in patients with antiretroviral therapy(ART)initiated in 2005-2020 for human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome(HIV/AIDS)in Fengtai District of Beijing.Methods A retrospective cohort study was conducted on the follow-up data of patients with ART initia-ted from 2005 to 2020 in Fengtai District collected from the National HIV/AIDS Comprehensive Control and Prevention In-formation System.The life table method was used to calculate the survival rate.Cox proportional hazards regression model was employed to explore associated factors of survival time.Results A total number of 3 417 cases were enrolled.In total,there was 40 HIV/AIDS-related deaths.The cumulative survival rate of patients at 1,3,5,10,and 15 years after ART was 99.24%,99.02%,98.83%,97.05%,and 97.05%,respectively.Multivariate analysis using Cox proportional hazards model revealed that the risk of death was higher in patients aged ≥50 years than that in those aged 15-29 years(HR=3.46,95%CI:1.00-11.90),and was higher in patients with baseline CD4+lymphocyte count<200 cells/pl than in those with baseline CD4+lymphocyte count≥500 cells/pl(HR=12.71,95%CI:1.70-95.25).Conclusion The survival rate is relatively high in the study population.To further reduce HIV/AIDS related mortality,early detection and treatment,and monitoring of treatment effect should be continuously strengthened,and high-level attention should be paid to patients of ol-der age.
