摘 要:Despite reductions in AIDS-related deaths, registries show HIV+ patients are still dying at a younger age than HIV-peers. Although overall mortality has declined in this population, a growing percent of deaths are due to malignancy. Since the data demonstrating the growing percentage of deaths due to malignancy in the HIV+ population is derived from registries, the study explores whether the subset dying from malignancy has particular characteristics that can be seen in a well-characterized cohort. In the well-characterized HIV+ cohort, the percentage of deaths due to cancer was seen to increase over four years (2010-2013) from 21% to 24% to 38% to 40%. The mean CD4-count of those who died from malignancy was 252+/-42 and 333+/-36 in patients with death from other causes. The viral load was not suppressed in 26% of patients dying from malignancy. Of patients on integrase inhibitor therapy, 48% of deaths were due to malignancy while in patients not on this therapy, 10% of deaths were due to malignancy (relative risk = 4.8). In HIV+ patients, a low CD4-count, failure to achieve viral suppression, and use of integrase inhibitors were associated with malignancy as the cause of death. The association of a specific therapy, integrase inhibition, with malignancy is seen in the study.
