HIV infection in France was associated with an increased risk of myocardial infarction compared to the general population, with an overall standardized morbidity ratio of 1.5 (95% CI 1.3-1.7).
Cohort
Does HIV infection increase the risk of myocardial infarction compared to the general population in France?
HIV-infected patients in France have a significantly higher risk of myocardial infarction compared to the general population, with a particularly pronounced relative risk in women.
Effect estimate: Standardized morbidity ratio 1.5 (95% CI 1.3-1.7)
The incidence of myocardial infarction (MI) is lower in France than in English-speaking and northern European countries. We estimated the incidence of MI in the HIV-infected population in France, on the basis of the data from the FHDH-ANRS CO4 cohort, by comparison with the general population. The sex- and age-standardized morbidity ratio was estimated as 1.5 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.3-1.7 overall, 1.4 (95% CI 1.3-1.6) in men and 2.7 (95% CI 1.8-3.9) in women.
Lang et al. (Fri,) conducted a cohort in HIV infection. HIV infection vs. General population was evaluated on Incidence of myocardial infarction (Standardized morbidity ratio 1.5, 95% CI 1.3-1.7). HIV infection in France was associated with an increased risk of myocardial infarction compared to the general population, with an overall standardized morbidity ratio of 1.5 (95% CI 1.3-1.7).
