Cohort study of diabetes in HIV-infected adult patients: Evaluating the effect of diabetes mellitus on immune reconstitution

Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice, Volume 103, No. 3, Year 2014

We conducted a retrospective cohort study assessing the association between diabetes mellitus (DM) and immune recovery in HIV-infected adults. Immune reconstitution after initiating antiretroviral therapy was more rapid in DM patients (120.4. cells/year) compared to non-DM patients (94.2. cells/year, p< 0.023). Metformin use was associated with improved CD4 recovery (p= 0.034). © 2014 Elsevier Ireland Ltd.
