- [Pre-print, not peer-reviewed] Among adults hospitalized with COVID-19 (n = 21,528), after adjusting for age, sex, race, and insurance, HIV was not associated with in-hospital mortality (aOR = 1.13). HIV was also not associated with major adverse cardiac events (aOR = 0.99), severity of illness (aOR = 0.96), or length of stay (aOR = 1.03). Of the study population, 36 people living with HIV (16.4%) had in-hospital mortality compared with 3,290 (15.4%) without HIV (risk difference = 0.9%). Data were analyzed from the American Heart Association’s COVID-19 Cardiovascular Disease registry.
