Traditional and HIV-Specific Risk Factors Associated With Atrial Fibrillation Among Underrepresented Minority Groups With HIV
Authors' conclusion
In this cohort of UREGs living with HIV, both traditional and HIV-specific risk factors were associated with incident NVAF. Rates of appropriate OAC prescribing were low.
Study context
- Population
- Under-represented racial and ethnic minority groups (UREGs) living with HIV, 2015–201910,945 without NVAF at baseline
- Participants
- 11,066 participants
- Primary endpoint
- Incidence of NVAF (nonvalvular AF/atrial flutter) and associated factors
Methodological detailsCox regression
- Cox regression
Primary result

Incident NVAF · average follow-up 3.4 years
Incidence of NVAF
4.54 incident cases per 1,000 person-years
Cumulative incidence 1 year after HIV diagnosis
0.48%
Cumulative incidence 5 years after HIV diagnosis
2.16%
Further findings
Any oral anticoagulation (OAC) prescription for stroke prophylaxis among those with NVAF meeting qualifying CHA2DS2-VASc scores
- Received any OAC prescription
- 44.2%
