342. The Impact of Glycemic Control on CD4 Cell Count in Persons Living with HIV and Diabetes Mellitus—Washington, DC
BACKGROUND: Among persons living with HIV (PLWH) with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) there is limited research on the effect of DM control on CD4 count. Current guidelines recommend that PLWH with DM maintain a hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) <7%. This analysis examined the impact of HbA1c on trends in CD4...

Sumario: | BACKGROUND: Among persons living with HIV (PLWH) with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) there is limited research on the effect of DM control on CD4 count. Current guidelines recommend that PLWH with DM maintain a hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) <7%. This analysis examined the impact of HbA1c on trends in CD4 count among PLWH receiving care in Washington, DC. METHODS: We used data from the DC Cohort, a longitudinal observational cohort of patients receiving HIV care at 14 clinics between 2011–2018. Participants with DM on an ongoing antiretroviral regimen with ≥1 year of follow-up, ≥2 HbA1c results, and ≥2 CD4 count results were included. Participants were compared based on the most recent HbA1c result categorized into one of three control levels control: strict, HbA1c < 7.5%; moderate, HbA1c between 7.5–9.0%; and uncontrolled, HbA1c >9.0%. All statistical tests were performed within the framework of the linear mixed-effects (LME) model. The rates of increase in CD4 count by DM control were compared using an LME model with random slopes and random intercepts, adjusted for sex, BMI, nadir CD4, a history of AIDS, or cancer diagnosis. RESULTS: Among 554 participants (median age 53.5; 70.8% male; 82.7% Black), there were 5,138 total CD4 count measurements. In unadjusted analysis, participants with moderate or uncontrolled HbA1c had higher mean CD4 counts over the follow-up period than those with strict HbA1c control (strict: 690 cells/μL, moderate: 712 cells/μL uncontrolled: 711 cells/μL; P = 0.0156 strict vs. moderate, 0.049 strict vs. uncontrolled). All DM control groups had a similar temporal increase over time in CD4 count (P = 0.46). In multivariate analysis, only moderate vs. strict control showed a significant difference in CD4 count (mean difference=18.1; P = 0.02). Results showed CD4 count change was not affected by the duration of HIV diagnosis or diabetes diagnosis. See Table 1 for additional results. CONCLUSION: PLWH and DM with moderate HbA1c control had higher CD4 counts than those with strict HbA1c control and similar CD4 counts compared with those with uncontrolled HbA1c levels, while the rate of increase in CD4 count was similar in the three groups. These results show that moderate DM control may benefit CD4 count, which should be considered when revising DM control guidelines for PLWH.
