Abstract

Objective: analysis of the causes of deaths in HIV-infected patients with the identification of the most significant nosology for making a prognosis and determining the direction of preventive measures.

Materials and methods: the data on deaths in HIV-infected patients for the period from 2019 to 2024 living in the Omsk Region were analyzed. The study is retrospective, continuous, descriptive. The long-term dynamics were assessed and forecasting was performed using a regression model.

Results: during the analyzed period, a tendency towards an increase in fatal outcomes of patients with HIV infection was noted. By gender, no significant changes in the ratio of men and women were revealed. However, significant changes in the age structure of the deceased were noted towards a shift to older age groups. The proportion of fatal outcomes from the progression of HIV infection and AIDS is decreasing, with a simultaneous increase in causes not related to the underlying disease. An increase in fatal outcomes from diseases of the cardiovascular system, gastrointestinal tract, injuries, poisoning and external causes was observed. However, when calculating the growth rate, a significant increase was noted in diseases of the respiratory system and cardiovascular pathology as causes of fatal outcomes in patients with HIV infection.  

Conclusions: during the analyzed period, the age and structure of causes of fatal outcomes among patients with HIV infection changed significantly. The data obtained will allow us to develop and make informed decisions on the prevention of somatic pathology in the aging population with HIV infection.
