Non-HIV-related causes of death in PWA: reasons for concern
- Smoking prevalence is higher in PWA than
in the general population
- Abuse of alcohol and injection /
non-injection drug use is prevalent
- Rates of hepatitis C (a major cause of
hepatocellular carcinoma) are ~80% among IDUs
- Concern that complications secondary to
HAART increase CVD mortality

Objectives
- To analyze non-HIV-related mortality
rates in the post-HAART period (1999- 2003) in NYC:
– overall, in specific subgroups, and for specific causes
- To identify PWA at greatest risk of a
non-HIV-related death
- To identify preventable non-HIV-
related illnesses that should be priorities for providers of health-care to PWA
Population
- NYC residents 13+ years old
– diagnosed w ith AIDS through 2003 – reported to DOHMH as of 9/30/04 – died 1999-2003 according to
- match w ith the NYC Vital Statistics
Registry, or
- field surveillance
Coding cause of death: A primer
- Death certificate may include up to
20 contributing or multiple causes
- Nosologist assigns ICD code to each
contributing cause of death
- All information on the DC used to
arrive at an underlying cause of death
- Since 1999, ICD-10 scheme used to
code cause of death
Source of cause of death
- NYC Vital Statistics Registry,
1999-2003
- Match w ith the
National Death Index (NDI), 1999 only
Classification of HIV-related causes
- ICD-10 codes for HIV-related deaths:
B20-B24
- Based on ICD-10 rules, some
OI deaths are not initially coded as HIV-related, because HIV is not listed
- n the death certifcate
- Selik proposed expanded criteria to
include all CDC AIDS-defining conditions, if HIV status is know n
– HIV-related deaths ~4% – Our number is greater than w hat Vital Statistics reports
Classification of non-HIV-related causes
- Criterion:
Any other know n underlying cause of death
- Categorized into major subgroups
- Cause of death unknow n for only
183/11,388 total deaths (1.6%)

Analysis
- Average mortality rates per 10,000
PWA (1999-2003), age-standardized to NYC population
– Overall and by sociodemographic factors – For non-HIV-related causes overall and specific causes
- Multinomial logistic regression to
determine predictors of death from non-HIV-related causes
– Compared to living w ith AIDS – Independent variables: age, race, sex, transmission risk, borough

Conclusions
- HIV-related causes continue to
dominate mortality among PWA in NYC
- How ever, the proportion of deaths due
to non-HIV-related causes has increased and accounted for 26% of all PWA deaths in 2003
- The risk of non-HIV-related deaths is
significantly higher among IDU, and varies significantly by age and borough
Conclusions
- Cardiovascular disease, cancer
and substance abuse account for ~75% of non-HIV-related deaths –Specific causes generally consistent by race, sex, risk
Recommendations for Health Care Providers to PWA
- Major causes of death are
amenable to prevention or intervention
– Screening for cancers, including prostate, prostate and colon – Providing support for lifestyle changes, e.g., nicotine patch, buprenorphine
- Take Care New York priority areas
apply equally to PWA
“Health care for people w ho are HIV-infected should shift from an [exclusive] focus on preventing HIV-related morbidity and mortality to include behaviors and conditions that are increasingly accounting for mortality.”
Primary Care Guidelines for the Management of Persons Infected w ith HIV, Recommendations of the HIV Medicine Association of the IDSA, 2004
Limitations
- Classification of cause of death not
validated by chart review
- Substance abuse definition may have
missed some related deaths
- Deaths occurring outside NYC (~6%)
are not ascertained
- Small numbers for subgroup analyses
and trends for specific causes
- Regression model did not include
laboratory values for CD4 count or viral load
Next Steps
- Further analyses w ithin subgroups
defined by geography and risk
- Comparison to causes of death
among all NYC residents not know n to be HIV+
- Comparable analysis of deaths
among people w ith HIV (not AIDS)
- Analysis of economic impact of non-
HIV-related mortality using years of potential life lost (YPLL)
