Park J, et al. - Via a retrospective longitudinal study using a secondary analysis of data from the Centers for AIDS Research Network of Integrated Clinical Systems (n = 10,043 people living with HIV), researchers examined how diabetes and chronic kidney disease (CKD) influence survival rates of people living with HIV. The patients were categorized as having HIV alone, HIV with diabetes, and HIV with diabetes and CKD. The analysis revealed a mortality rate of 3.6% for HIV alone (n = 8.266); almost three times greater mortality (12.0%) was noted for HIV with diabetes (n = 1720); and HIV with diabetes and CKD (n = 57) had survival less than three times higher (36.8%) than for HIV alone. These findings suggest decreased survival rates in correlation to diabetes mellitus, emphasizing the necessity for halting or delaying the onset of type 2 diabetes by more aggressively assessing for prediabetes and treating it.
