Objectives: Determining the impact of malnutrition, anaemia and social determinants on survival once starting antiretroviral therapy (ART) in a cohort of HIV-infected adults in a rural HIV care centre in Sihanoukville, Cambodia.Methods: Retrospective and descriptive cohort study of adults starting ART between December 2004 and July 2009. We used the Kaplan-Meier and Cox regression survival analyses to identify predictors of death.Results: Out of 1002 patients, 49.7% were men; median age was 40; median time of follow-up was 2.4 years and 10.4% died during the follow-up. At baseline, median CD4 cell count was 83 cells/mu l, 79.9% were at WHO stage III or IV. In multivariate analysis, malnutrition appeared to be a strong and independent risk factor of death; 11.2% had a BMI less than 16 kg/m(2) and hazard ratio was 6.97 [95% confidence interval (CI), 3.51-13.89], 21.5% had a BMI between 16 and 18 kg/m(2) and hazard ratio was 2.88 (95% CI, 1.42-5.82), 30.8% had a BMI between 18 and 20 kg/m(2) and hazard ratio was 2.18 (95% CI, 1.09-4.36).
