Abstract Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection increases the risk of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). However, little is known about its association with in-hospital outcomes and temporal trends in patients with AMI undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). We queried patients with AMI who underwent PCI from the National Inpatient Sample Database (2003–2015) and stratified them into three groups: symptomatic, asymptomatic, and HIV-negative. After 1:2 case–control matching (CCM), logistic regression analysis was conducted to determine how HIV infection affected in-hospital outcomes. We also evaluated their recent trends from 2003 to 2015. The total weighted national estimate of 2,191,129 AMI cases included 2,178,995 HIV/AIDS-negative, 4994 asymptomatic, and 7140 symptomatic HIV cases. Symptomatic but not asymptomatic patients with HIV suffered more than triple the in-hospital mortality (adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 3.6, 95% confidence interval (CI) 2.5–5.2), over one-fold incidence of acute kidney injury (aOR 2.6 95% CI 1.9–3.4) and cardiogenic shock risk (aOR 1.9, 95% CI 1.3–2.7), a longer length of hospital stay (beta 1.2, 95% CI 1.0–1.5), and had more procedures (beta 1.3, 95% CI 1.2–1.5). These disparities relating to symptomatic HIV infection persisted from 2003 to 2015. In patients with AMI who underwent PCI, symptomatic HIV infection was associated with higher in-hospital mortality and more severe outcomes.
