| Abstract | To investigate the impact of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) on the causes of death among AIDS patients, a population-based Los Angeles County AIDS surveillance registry data in 1990-2002 were analyzed (18,149 deaths). Results showed that total AIDS deaths were significantly reduced in post-HAART, with the reduction predominantly in the HIV/AIDS-related death, not the non-HIV/AIDS-related death. Deaths due to cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) were significantly increased in post-HAART among non-HIV/AIDS-related death (P<0.001). Logistic regression identified that being in post-HAART was significantly associated with CVD death (ORadjusted=1.6, 95%CI: 1.2-2.0, compared to pre-HAART). In addition, African American AIDS patients had a higher risk of dying from CVDs compared to Whites (ORadjusted=1.9, 95%CI=1.5-2.5). Thus, treatments and prevention programs among AIDS patients could be targeted on CVDs in the post-HAART era, especially in the disadvantaged population. |
