Abstract:
Objective To explore the correlation between air pollutants (PM2.5, NO2, and CO) and the mortality rate of HIV/AIDS patients in Wuhan. Methods The death data of HIV/AIDS patients from January 1, 2017, to December 31, 2019, and the daily average atmospheric pollutant concentration during the study period were collected. A time-stratified case-control study design was used to explore the correlation between atmospheric pollutant concentration and patient mortality. Results For every 10 µg/m3 increase in CO concentration within 0-4 days of cumulative lag, AIDS-related mortality in HIV/AIDS patients increased by 1.79% (95% CIs: 0.04, 3.56). There was no statistical correlation between PM3 and NO3 concentrations and mortality in patients with HI and AIDS. Conclusion CO is positively correlated with the risk of AIDS-related death in HIV/AIDS patients. This study can provide relevant epidemiological evidence for public health authorities to develop more effective prevention measures for HIV/AIDS patients.
