Published estimates of mortality and progression to AIDS as children with HIV approach adulthood are limited. We describe rates and risk factors for death and AIDS-defining events in children and adolescents after initiation of combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) in 17 middle- and high-income countries, including some in Western and Central Europe (W&CE), Eastern Europe (Russia and Ukraine), and Thailand. Children with perinatal HIV aged <18 years initiating cART were followed until their 21st birthday, transfer to adult care, death, loss to follow-up, or last visit up until 31 December 2013. Rates of death and first AIDS-defining events were calculated. Baseline and time-updated risk factors for early/late (≤/>6 months of cART) death and progression to AIDS were assessed. Of 3,526 children included, 32% were from the United Kingdom or Ireland, 30% from elsewhere in W&CE, 18% from Russia or Ukraine, and 20% from Thailand. At cART initiation, median age was 5.2 (IQR 1.4–9.3) years; 35% of children aged <5 years had a CD4 lymphocyte percentage <15% in 1997–2003, which fell to 15% of children in 2011 onwards (p < 0.001). Similarly, 53% and 18% of children ≥5 years had a CD4 count <200 cells/mm3 in 1997–2003 and in 2011 onwards, respectively (p < 0.001). Median follow-up was 5.6 (2.9–8.7) years. Of 94 deaths and 237 first AIDS-defining events, 43 (46%) and 100 (42%) were within 6 months of initiating cART, respectively. Multivariable predictors of early death were: being in the first year of life; residence in Russia, Ukraine, or Thailand; AIDS at cART start; initiating cART on a nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI)-based regimen; severe immune suppression; and low BMI-for-age z-score. Current severe immune suppression, low current BMI-for-age z-score, and current viral load >400 c/mL predicted late death. Predictors of early and late progression to AIDS were similar. Study limitations include incomplete recording of US Centers for Disease Control (CDC) disease stage B events and serious adverse events in some countries; events that were distributed over a long time period, and that we lacked power to analyse trends in patterns and causes of death over time. In our study, 3,526 children and adolescents with perinatal HIV infection initiated antiretroviral therapy (ART) in countries in Europe and Thailand. We observed that over 40% of deaths occurred ≤6 months after cART initiation. Greater early mortality risk in infants, as compared to older children, and in Russia, Ukraine, or Thailand as compared to W&CE, raises concern. Current severe immune suppression, being underweight, and unsuppressed viral load were associated with a higher risk of death at >6 months after initiation of cART. In a multi-country cohort study, Ali Judd and colleagues study morbidity, mortality, and relevant risk factors in children and adolescents with HIV infection receiving antiretroviral treatment. Adolescence has been highlighted as an urgent global priority for health by a diverse range of stakeholders. HIV/AIDS is one of the top 10 leading causes of death in adolescents globally. Estimates of mortality and progression to AIDS as children approach adulthood are limited. We investigated long-term risk of death and AIDS-defining events in children and adolescents with perinatal HIV across high- and middle-income country settings in Western and Central Europe, Eastern Europe (Russia, Ukraine), and Thailand. In our study, in 3,526 patients across 17 countries, median age at cART initiation was 5.2 years, and median duration of follow-up was 5.6 years, with 9,228 person-years of follow-up in those aged ≥10 years and 20,574 person-years overall. We found that there was a higher risk of mortality in very young children, in Eastern European countries and Thailand, and in patients with current severe immune suppression and low BMI. We describe outcomes for some of the first generation of children to survive perinatal HIV and reach adolescence. Our findings, together with other available evidence, suggest an ongoing need for intensive monitoring of very young children with HIV infection, those with severe immunosuppression, and those with a lower BMI than that expected for their age.
