Abstract:
Objective:To analyze the basic characteristics and change trend of mortality in HIV-infected patients aged ≥60 years in China from 2013 to 2021.Methods:The data of HIV-infected patients aged ≥60 years at diagnosis were collected from China Information System for Disease Control and Prevention to calculate the mortality density. The trajectory model was fitted using the Proc traj process in software SAS 9.4 to explore trajectory of AIDS-related mortality density and non-AIDS-related mortality density under different combinations of region, gender and age.Results:Between 2013 and 2021, a total of 244 770 HIV-infected patients were reported with 40 079 AIDS-related deaths and 50 245 non-AIDS-related deaths. The AIDS-related mortality density was 6.32 per 100 person-years, and the non-AIDS-related mortality density was 7.92 per 100 person-years, both of which showed decreasing trends over the years, and the mortality density in men was higher than that in women. Two developmental trajectories could be categorized for different trends of AIDS-related mortality density: the lower mortality density group accounted for 80.95% and showed a slow decreasing trend; the higher mortality density group accounted for 19.05% and showed a three-curve developmental trend. There were three developmental trajectories of non-AIDS-related mortality density trends: the lower mortality density group accounted for 59.52% and the medium mortality density group accounted for 28.57%, with a flat overall trend in these two groups; the higher mortality density group accounted for 11.91% with a three-curve trend.Conclusions:The mortality in HIV-infected patients aged ≥60 years in China is still high. Further attention should be paid to the early detection, diagnosis and treatment of HIV infection to effectively reduce the density of AIDS-related deaths. At the same time, attention should be paid to non-AIDS-related deaths in the elderly, and comprehensive interventions should be taken. It is necessary to conduct targeted HIV/AIDS prevention and control based on actual situation in different areas and populations
