Abstract
Background This study explored disparities in characteristics and mortalities among four major transmission groups on antiretroviral therapy in northwest China as well as the survival impact of each transmission route. Methods We first examined disparities in demographics and clinical characteristics of the four transmission populations. Kaplan Meier analysis was subsequently conducted to compare survival rates among all groups. At last, Cox proportional hazards regression model was employed to analyze the survival impact of a transmission route among seven main categories of survival factors associated with all-cause mortalities. Results Survival analysis showed significant differences in all-cause, AIDS- and non-AIDS-related deaths among four HIV populations (all P < 0.05). Using homosexuals as the reference, Cox proportional hazards model further revealed that the risk of all-cause death for blood and plasma donors was significantly higher than that of the reference (aHR: 5.21, 95%CI: 1.54–17.67); the risk of non-AIDS-related death for heterosexuals (aHR: 2.07, 95%CI: 1.01–4.20) and that for blood and plasma donors (aHR: 19.81, 95%CI: 5.62–69.89) were both significantly higher than that of the reference. Conclusions Significant disparities were found in characteristics and mortalities among the four transmission groups where mortality disparities were mainly due to non-AIDS-related death. Suggestions are provided for each group to improve their survivorship. Supplementary Information The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1186/s12879-022-07281-x.

Ma P, Gao L, Zhang D, Yu A, Qiu C, Li L, Yu F, Wu Y, You W, Guo Y, Ning X, Lu W. Trends in the incidence of AIDS and epidemiological features in Tianjin, China from 2005 to 2016. Oncotarget 2017; 8:102540-102549. [PMID: 29254269 PMCID: PMC5731979 DOI: 10.18632/oncotarget.21016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/07/2017] [Accepted: 08/27/2017] [Indexed: 01/12/2023] Open
Abstract
The objective of this study was to assess the epidemiological trends among patients with AIDS in Tianjin, China. A long-term surveillance study was conducted from 2005 to 2016 in Tianjin, China. All patients with AIDS registered in Tianjin from 2005 to 2016 were recruited to this study. Demographic information and clinical features were recorded. A total of 3062 patients with AIDS who were treated with antiretroviral therapy were included in this study. Among AIDS patients, men were more likely to be younger than women (age, 37.84 years vs. 43.27 years; P < 0.001). The incidence of AIDS increased by 39.6% annually over the past 12 years overall. There was the greatest increase (by 44.7%) for homosexual route. Moreover, the proportion of patients aged < 30 years increased considerably over the 12-year study period, while there was a decrease in the proportion of patients aged ≥ 35 years. The frequency of homosexual transmission increased by 86% from before 2011 to 2016, but the frequency of heterosexual transmission decreased by 49%. The frequency of transmission through intravenous drug use decreased in men and patients aged 25–29 years. For those infected through homosexual transmission, there was a significant increase in the numbers of patients aged 20–24 years and 25–29 years. It is important for developing countries to effectively prevent and control the transmission of HIV/AIDS; in particular, it is crucial to promote disease education and sexual protection among young men.

[PMID: 24327726 DOI: 10.1177/0956462413515198] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/18/2013] [Accepted: 10/20/2013] [Indexed: 02/02/2023]
Abstract
This study aimed to characterise the clinical characteristics of HIV-infected patients accessing antiretroviral therapy (ART) in Shanghai, China, from 2006 to 2011. We retrospectively reviewed the records of patients who initiated ART in Shanghai during the 6-year period of 2006 through 2011. The median age at ART initiation decreased from 41 years in 2008 to 38 years in 2011. The median CD4 counts at ART initiation rose from 65 cells/mm(3)in 2006 to 203 cells/mm(3)in 2011. The proportion of patients with CD4 counts <200 cells/mm(3)at ART initiation decreased from 88.5% in 2006 to 49.6% in 2011. The proportion of patients starting stavudine-based regimens of stavudine/lamivudine/efavirenz and stavudine/lamivudine/nevirapine fell from 49.2% in 2006 to 23.4% in 2011. The proportion of patients starting nevirapine-based regimens of zidovudine/lamivudine/nevirapine and stavudine/lamivudine/nevirapine fell from 44.3% in 2006 to 16.5% in 2011. The study reflects that the clinical characteristics of the patients initiating ART in Shanghai have changed over time; ART was increasingly provided in patients with higher CD4 counts; and the regimens containing stavudine were prescribed less frequently. Strategies to facilitate early access to ART and further reduction in stavudine use are needed.
