We describe mortality in children with HIV in Vietnam during the COVID-19 pandemic. We followed 1234 children (median age 11.9 years) at three hospitals during 2020-2023; 260 had COVID-19. Eleven (0.9%) children died, mostly due to poorly controlled HIV. Mortality was higher than in the prepandemic period (2016-2019) (0.29 vs. 0.09 per 100 person-years; P = 0.033), likely due to decreased access to treatment, testing, and medical intervention during the lockdown, as well as financial difficulties.
我们描述了越南新冠疫情期间感染艾滋病毒儿童的死亡率情况。在2020年至2023年期间，我们对三家医院的1234名儿童（中位年龄11.9岁）进行了随访；其中260名儿童感染了新冠病毒。11名（0.9%）儿童死亡，主要原因是艾滋病毒控制不佳。死亡率高于疫情前时期（2016 - 2019年）（每100人年分别为0.29和0.09；P = 0.033），这可能是由于封锁期间治疗、检测和医疗干预的可及性下降，以及经济困难所致。
