[12] [13] [14] [15] Some of these studies reported that PWH with COVID-19 had similar clinical characteristics and comparable risk of severe disease to the general population. Study variables included patient demographics, HIV-associated variables, underlying medical problems, COVID-19 clinical presentation as reported by patients, laboratory values, treatment, and clinical outcomes. In a multivariable analysis, older age, lower CD4 count, chronic lung disease, hypertension, and high comorbidity burden were significantly associated with severe outcomes (Table 4) . As reported in multiple other studies in people without HIV, we found that age, chronic lung disease, and comorbidity burden were associated with increased rates of severe outcomes. In addition, among HIV-specific factors, we found that a lower CD4 count (< 200 cells/mm3) was associated with poor outcomes, including higher hospitalization rates, lower ICU-free survival, and overall survival.	./cache/cord-292546-un0blb3w.txt	./txt/cord-292546-un0blb3w.txt
