To estimate the effect of combined antiretroviral therapy (cART) on mortality among HIV-infected individuals after appropriate adjustment for time-varying confounding by indication. A collaboration of 12 prospective cohort studies from Europe and the United States (the HIV-CAUSAL Collaboration) that includes 62,760 HIV-infected, therapy-naïve individuals followed for an average of 3.3 years. Inverse probability weighting of marginal structural models was used to adjust for measured confounding by indication. 2039 individuals died during the follow-up. The mortality hazard ratio was 0.48 (95% confidence interval: 0.41, 0.57) for cART initiation versus no initiation. In analyses stratified by CD4 cell count at baseline, the corresponding hazard ratios were 0.29 (0.22, 0.37) for <100 cells/μL, 0.33 (0.25, 0.44) for 100-<200 cells/μL, 0.38 (0.28, 0.52) for 200-<350 cells/μL, 0.55 (0.41, 0.74) for 350-<500 cells/μL, and 0.77 (0.58, 1.01) for ≥500 cells/μL. The estimated hazard ratio varied with years since initiation of cART from 0.57 (0.49, 0.67) for <1 year since initiation to 0.21 (0.14, 0.31) for ≥ 5 years (p-value for trend<0.001). We estimated that cART halved the average mortality rate in HIV-infected individuals. The mortality reduction was greater in those with worse prognosis at the start of follow-up.
