Differences in utilization, complications, and mortality after cancer surgery by HIV status among Medicaid beneficiaries from 2001-2021

Key Points

Higher cancer surgery utilization is observed in people living with HIV (PWH), indicating a need for specialized care.
Short-term complications after surgery remain similar between PWH and non-PWH, supporting standard cancer care guidelines.
The study covers Medicaid beneficiaries from 2001 to 2021, revealing trends in utilization and outcomes based on HIV status.
Long-term mortality rates are notably higher in PWH, highlighting an area for further investigation and intervention.

Abstract

PWH had higher post-cancer surgery utilization but similar short-term complications, which supports current guidelines to provide standard cancer care for PWH. More work is needed to elucidate the factors contributing to higher long-term mortality among PWH.
