Abstract：Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics of AIDS deaths receiving highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), so as to provide reference for HAART in AIDS patients. Methods The data of dead patients receiving HAART in our hospital from 2005 to 2012 were analyzed retrospectively to summarize the clinical characteristics. Results A total of 102 patients treated in our hospital were dead during HAART with the average age of 46.13±15.24 years, of whom 77.45%were males, and 22.55%females. The mortality rate was 3.20%. The baseline CD4+T lymphocyte count of the deaths was 72.61 ±77.15/mm3, and the patients with baseline CD4+T lymphocyte count<100/mm3 accounted for 72.55%. The patients who were dead during 12 months of treatment accounted for 71.57%. The age of death in patients with CD4+T lymphocyte count>50/mm3 was significantly older than that in patients with CD4+T lymphocyte count ≤50/mm3. Conclusions AIDS-related diseases are the main causes of death. Patients with CD4+T lymphocyte count<100/mm3 and receiving HAART for no more than 1 year have a high mortality rate.
