Abstract

Introduction: Cardiovascular disease risks are significantly higher in patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). There are limited data on the management and outcomes of acute myocardial infarction-cardiogenic shock (AMI-CS) in patients with HIV/AIDS> Methods: A retrospective cohort of AMI-CS during 2000-2017 from the National Inpatient Sample was evaluated for concomitant HIV and AIDS. Outcomes of interest included in-hospital mortality, use of cardiac procedures, hospital length of stay, hospitalization costs, use of do-not-resuscitate (DNR) status, and palliative care use. A sub-group analysis was performed for those with and without AIDS within the HIV cohort. Results: A total 557,974 AMI-CS admissions were included, with HIV and AIDS in 1,321 (0.2%) and 985 (0.2%), respectively. The HIV cohort was younger (54.1 vs. 69.0 years), more often male, of non-white race, uninsured, from a lower socioeconomic status, and with higher comorbidity (all p <0.001). The HIV cohort had comparable multiorgan failure (37.8% vs. 39.0%) and cardiac arrest (28.7% vs. 27.4%) ( p >0.05). The cohorts with and without HIV had comparable rates of coronary angiography (70.2% vs. 69.0%; p =0.37), but less frequent early coronary angiography (hospital day zero) (39.1% vs. 42.5%; p <0.001). The cohort with HIV had comparable in-hospital mortality compared to those without (26.9% vs. 37.4%; adjusted odds ratio 1.04 [95% confidence interval 0.90-1.21]; p =0.61). The cohort with HIV had longer duration of hospitalization (10.8±10.1 vs 9.9±11.4 days), higher hospitalization costs (158±155 vs. 143±182 x1000 USD) and was discharged home (48.6% vs 41.8%) more often as compared to those without HIV (all p <0.005). In the HIV cohort, AIDS was associated with higher in-hospital mortality (28.8% vs. 21.1%; adjusted odds ratio 4.12 [95% confidence interval 1.89-9.00]; p <0.001). Secondary outcomes were relatively comparable between those with and without AIDS. Conclusions: The cohort with HIV had longer hospital stay and higher hospitalization costs; however these were comparable between those with and without AIDS.
