Our objective was to assess whether highly active ART was associated with improved survival in critically ill HIV-infected patients. Methods A retrospective study from 1996 to 2005 was performed in a medical intensive care unit ICU in a university hospital specialized in the management of immunocompromised patients. A total of 284 critically ill HIV-infected patients were included. Differences were sought across four time periods. Risk factors for death were identified by multivariable logistic regression. Results Among the 233 82 patients with known HIV infection before ICU admission 64 were on highly active ART. Annual admissions increased over time with no differences in reasons for admission proportions of patients with newly diagnosed HIV previous opportunistic infection CD4 counts viral load or acute disease severity. ICU and 90-day mortality rates decreased steadily 25 and in 1996 to 1997 and in 1998 to 2000 and in 2001 to 2003 and in 2004 to 2005. Five factors were independently associated with increased ICU mortality delayed ICU admission odds ratio OR 95 confidence interval CI to acute renal failure OR 95 CI to hepatic cirrhosis OR 95 CI to ICU admission for coma OR 95 CI to and severe sepsis OR 95 CI to . Admission to the ICU in the most recent period was independently associated with increased survival admission from 2001 to 2003 OR 95 CI .
