COVID-19 in people with HIV in the Netherlands
Objectives: We investigated occurrence of and risk factors for severe COVID-19 outcomes in people with HIV (PWH) in the Netherlands. Design: An ongoing prospective nationwide HIV cohort study. Methods: COVID-19 diagnoses and outcomes with other relevant medical information were prospectively collected from electronic medical records in all HIV treatment centers in the Netherlands, from the start of the COVID-19 epidemic until December 31, 2021. Risk factors for COVID-19 related hospitalization and death were investigated using multivariable logistic regression, including demographics, HIV-rela... Mehr ...

Objectives: We investigated occurrence of and risk factors for severe COVID-19 outcomes in people with HIV (PWH) in the Netherlands. Design: An ongoing prospective nationwide HIV cohort study. Methods: COVID-19 diagnoses and outcomes with other relevant medical information were prospectively collected from electronic medical records in all HIV treatment centers in the Netherlands, from the start of the COVID-19 epidemic until December 31, 2021. Risk factors for COVID-19 related hospitalization and death were investigated using multivariable logistic regression, including demographics, HIV-related factors, and comorbidities. Results: The cohort comprises 21 289 adult PWH, median age 51.2 years, 82% male, 70% were of Western origin, 12.0% were of sub-Saharan African and 12.6% Latin American/Caribbean origin, 96.8% had HIV-RNA less than 200 copies/ml, median CD4 + cell count 690 (IQR 510–908) cells/μl. Primary SARS-CoV-2 infections were registered in 2301 individuals, of whom 157 (6.8%) required hospitalization and 27 (1.2%) ICU admission. Mortality rates were 13 and 0.4% among hospitalized and nonhospitalized individuals, respectively. Independent risk factors for severe outcomes (COVID-19-related hospitalization and death) were higher age, having multiple comorbidities, a CD4 + cell count less than 200 cells/μl, uncontrolled HIV replication, and prior AIDS diagnosis. Migrants from sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America, and the Caribbean were at an increased risk of severe outcomes independently of other risk factors. Conclusion: In our national cohort of PWH, risk of severe COVID-19 outcomes was increased in individuals with uncontrolled HIV replication, low CD4 + cell count, and prior AIDS diagnosis, independently of general risk factors such as higher age, comorbidity burden and migrants originating from non-Western countries.
