RESUMEN
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection increases the risk of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). However, little is known about its association with in-hospital outcomes and temporal trends in patients with AMI undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). We queried patients with AMI who underwent PCI from the National Inpatient Sample Database (2003-2015) and stratified them into three groups: symptomatic, asymptomatic, and HIV-negative. After 1:2 case-control matching (CCM), logistic regression analysis was conducted to determine how HIV infection affected in-hospital outcomes. We also evaluated their recent trends from 2003 to 2015. The total weighted national estimate of 2,191,129 AMI cases included 2,178,995 HIV/AIDS-negative, 4994 asymptomatic, and 7140 symptomatic HIV cases. Symptomatic but not asymptomatic patients with HIV suffered more than triple the in-hospital mortality (adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 3.6, 95% confidence interval (CI) 2.5-5.2), over one-fold incidence of acute kidney injury (aOR 2.6 95% CI 1.9-3.4) and cardiogenic shock risk (aOR 1.9, 95% CI 1.3-2.7), a longer length of hospital stay (beta 1.2, 95% CI 1.0-1.5), and had more procedures (beta 1.3, 95% CI 1.2-1.5). These disparities relating to symptomatic HIV infection persisted from 2003 to 2015. In patients with AMI who underwent PCI, symptomatic HIV infection was associated with higher in-hospital mortality and more severe outcomes.
