PG - 104309 LID - S2352-3964(22)00491-1 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.ebiom.2022.104309 [doi] LID - 104309 AB - BACKGROUND: After initiating antiretroviral therapy (ART), approximately 25% of people with HIV (PWH) may develop Immune Reconstitution Inflammatory Syndrome (IRIS), which is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Several reports have demonstrated that low haemoglobin (Hb) levels are a risk factor for IRIS. To what extent the severity of anaemia contributes to the risk of IRIS and/or death is still insufficiently explored. METHODS: We investigated both the presence and severity of anaemia in PWH in a multinational cohort of ART-na..ve patients. A large panel of plasma biomarkers was measured pre-ART and patients were followed up for 6 months. IRIS or deaths during this period were considered as outcomes. We performed multidimensional analyses, logistic regression, and survival curves to delineate associations. FINDINGS: Patients with severe anaemia (SA) presented a distinct systemic inflammatory profile, characterized by higher TNF, IL-6, and IL-27 levels. SA was independently associated with IRIS, with a higher risk of both early IRIS onset and death. Among IRIS patients, those with SA had a higher risk of mycobacterial IRIS. INTERPRETATION: PWH with SA display a more pronounced inflammatory profile, with an elevated risk of developing IRIS earlier and a statistically significant higher risk of death.
