| Popis: | Background. Little is known about the impact of HIV infection on clinical presentation, complications, and morbid pericarditis-related outcomes of tuberculous pericarditis and its predictors. Objective. To assess the impact of HIV infection on presentation and outcomes in the multicountry Investigation of the Management of Pericarditis (IMPI) randomised controlled trial of immunotherapy in tuberculous pericarditis conducted in sub-Saharan Africa. Methods. We compared clinical features and outcomes of 1 370 adult patients treated for tuberculous pericarditis (939 and 431 HIVinfected and uninfected, respectively) enrolled in the IMPI trial. Cox proportional hazards models were used to determine independent predictors of outcomes of HIV-associated tuberculous pericarditis. Results. At presentation, HIV-infected (v. uninfected) patients were younger (median age 34.0 years v. 47.7 years), had lower body mass (mean weight 56 kg v. 60 kg), higher prevalence of tachycardia (58.5% v. 51.9%), hypotension (9.4% v. 3.9%), anaemia (65.9% v. 26.8%), and radiographic pulmonary infiltrates compatible with tuberculosis (35.4% v. 27.4%), but had lower rates of peripheral oedema (37.1% v. 48.3%). HIV-infected (v. uninfected) patients were less likely to develop constrictive pericarditis (4.1% v. 10.0% at 1 year, p |
