Abstract Individuals affected by human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) have a growing demand for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) due to heightened risk for cardiovascular diseases and extended life expectancy.However, CABG outcomes in HIV patients are not well-established, with insights only from small case series studies.This study conducted a comprehensive, population-based examination of in-hospital CABG outcomes in HIV patients.Patients underwent CABG were identified in National Inpatient Sample from Q4 2015–2020.Patients with age < 18 years and concomitant procedures were excluded.
A 1:5 propensity-score matching was used to address preoperative group differences.Among patients who underwent CABG, Power Supply Harness 613 (0.36%) had Health HIV and were matched to 3119 out of 167,569 non-HIV patients.For selected HIV patients, CABG is relatively safe, presenting largely similar outcomes.After matching, HIV and non-HIV patients had comparable in-hospital mortality rates (2.
13% vs.1.67%, p = 0.40).Risk factors associated with mortality among HIV patients included previous CABG (aOR = 14.
32, p = 0.01), chronic pulmonary disease (aOR = 8.24, p < 0.01), advanced renal failure (aOR = 7.49, p = 0.
01), and peripheral vascular disease (aOR = 6.92, p = 0.01), which can be used for preoperative risk stratification.While HIV patients had higher acute kidney injury (AKI; 26.77% vs.
21.77%, p = 0.01) and infection (8.21% vs.4.
18%, p < 0.01), other complications were comparable between the groups.
