Pulmonary hypertension (pulmonary hypertension) is an independent predictor of death in HIV- infected
patients .
HIV is the leading cause of pulmonary hypertension (HIV-pulmonary hypertension) worldwide
Infect
In a research article published recently in the Journal of Internal Medicine, the authoritative journal in the field of internal medicine, researchers aimed to describe the characteristics, treatment patterns and prognosis of a group of HIV-pulmonary hypertension patients and compare them with a group of equivalent idiopathic patients.
Patients with sexual/familial pulmonary hypertension were compared
.
We retrospectively analyzed and compared demographic .
HIV-pulmonary hypertension overall survival (OS) was up to 5 years and was compared to an age- and sex-matched population with idiopathic pulmonary hypertension/familial pulmonary hypertension .
The researchers also analyzed changes in treatment patterns in HIV-pulmonary hypertension patients after 2010 and their impact on OS .
Compared with idiopathic/familial pulmonary hypertension (n=739), HIV-pulmonary hypertension patients (n=132) were younger, predominantly male, and had better functional status
.
Clinical presentation, hemodynamics, and respiratory function were similar between groups
Thus, HIV-pulmonary hypertension patients are mainly young men
.
Despite better functional status, short-term outcomes were similar to age- and sex-matched patients with idiopathic/familial pulmonary hypertension
HIV-pulmonary hypertension patients are predominantly young men
