program abstract
 
Background:
Our aim was to evaluate rate and prognostic factors of mortality due to non-AIDS defining malignancies (NADM) among persons living with HIV (PLWH) from the cohort of the Spanish AIDS Research Network (CoRIS) during 2004-2020.
 
Methods:We included antiretroviral-naive individuals aged ≥ 20 years at enrolment, recruited during 2004-2020. NADM deaths were all deaths due to cancer, except those due to AIDS defining malignancies such as Kaposi sarcoma, certain types of non-Hodgkin lymphomas and cervical cancer. We estimated mortality rates and standardised mortality ratios (SMRs) using NADM mortality rates from the Spanish general population. We applied cause-specific Cox proportional hazard models, accounting for competing risk, and age as time-scale to identify prognostic factors for NADM mortality.
 
Results: Of the 17,329 study participants, 85% were men and median age was 35 years. The overall mortality rate was 1.53 (95% confidence interval: 1.32, 1.79) per 1,000 person-years (PY), 76% higher as that in the general population (SMR: 1.76, 95% CI 1.51, 2.06). The highest mortality rates were found for lung (0.56 per 1,000 PY; 95%CI 0.44, 0.73) and liver cancer (0.18 per 1,000 PY, 95%CI 0.12, 0.28). Mortality rates increased with age, whereas SMRs decreased from 3.42 (95%CI 1.63, 7.18) at ≤35 years to 0.92 (95%CI 0.56, 1.53) at ≥70 years. Risk of NADM mortality was higher in participants that acquired infection through heterosexual contact (Hazard Ratio: 1.48; 95%CI 1.07, 2.03) and injection drug use (HR: 1.54 (0.87, 2.76), compared to men who have sex with men. Time-varying prognostic factors for NADM mortality were: active smoking (HR: 2.23; 95%CI 0.96, 5.18), presence of hepatitis C virus antibodies (HR: 1.74; 95%CI 1.09, 2.78) or hepatitis B surface antigen (HR: 2.02; 95%CI 1.12, 3.66) and decreasing CD4 count (HR: 8.49; 95%CI 5.46, 13.20 for CD4< 200 cells/μl, HR: 4.10; 95%CI 2.57, 6.55 for CD4 200-349 cells/μl;HR: 2.50; 95%CI 1.64, 3.80 for CD4 350-499 cells/μl compared to CD4≥500 cells/μl).
 
Conclusion: Mortality due to NADM in PLWH is higher than in the general population, mainly at younger ages. Smoking, viral hepatitis coinfections and immunosuppression independently increased risk of death due to NADM.
