Abstract # 10909
Financial Disclosures
• None
Background
• HIV is associated with cardiovascular (CV) disease
• Most (>60%) HIV+ patients reside in Africa but CV risk in this population is not well-studied
• Call for integration of communicable / non-communicable disease care in low- and middle-income countries
-United Nations High Level Meeting 2011
Rationale
• Despite importance of CV disease globally and large HIV burden in Africa, no studies examining CV disease and mortality in HIV in the region
• Among Kenyan HIV+ patients without AIDS:– High blood pressure is associated with higher risk
of death– The blood pressure-mortality relationship varies
with World Health Organization HIV clinical stage
Hypotheses
Methodology
• Retrospective analysis of clinically-obtained patient medical records
• Large HIV treatment program in Kenya– Academic Model Providing Access to
Healthcare (AMPATH) – >115,000 adults enrolled from >20 clinics– Blood pressure from electronic medical
record
Study Site
Methodology
• Included data for 2005-10, ≥16 years old• Excluded those with AIDS, missing blood
pressure,CD4 count or pregnant• Categorized age, CD4, and blood pressure
– Systolic BP: <100, 100-119, 120-139, ≥140
• Calculated:– Unadjusted mortality incidence rate– Risk of death with proportional hazards
regression models
Results
• 30,231 patients • Median age 33.5 years (28-41), 75% female,
CD4 396 (287-556), 60% on HIV therapy• Incidence rate (IR) of death higher if SBP ≥140
