AB OBJECTIVE: To calculate 3-year mortality rates in HIV-1-seropositive and
HIV-1-seronegative mothers, their newborn children and the fathers of
these children. DESIGN: Longitudinal cohort study of HIV-1-seropositive,
age and parity-matched HIV-1-seronegative pregnant women, their newborn
babies and the fathers of these children. SETTING: Obstetric ward and
follow-up clinic at a large municipal hospital in Kinshasa, Zaire.
PARTICIPANTS: A total of 335 newborn children and their 327
HIV-1-seropositive mothers and 341 newborn children and their 337
HIV-1-seronegative mothers and the fathers of these children. MAIN
OUTCOME MEASURES: Rates of vertical HIV-1 transmission and maternal,
paternal and early childhood mortality. RESULTS: The lower and upper
bounds of vertical transmission were 27 and 50%, respectively. The
3-year mortality rate was 44% in children with vertically acquired HIV-1
infection, 25% in children with HIV-1-seropositive mothers and
indeterminant HIV-1 infection status, and 6% in uninfected children with
HIV-1-seronegative mothers. HIV-1-seropositive women who transmitted
HIV-1 infection to their most recently born child had lost a greater
number of previously born children (mean, 1.5 versus 0.5; P < 0.05),
were more likely to have had AIDS at delivery (25 versus 12%; P < 0.01)
and were more likely to die during follow-up (22 versus 9%; P < 0.01)
than HIV-1-seropositive women who did not transmit HIV-1 infection to
their newborn child. Twenty-five out of 239 (10.4%) fathers of children
with HIV-1-seropositive mothers, not lost to follow-up, died compared
with three out of 310 (1%) fathers of children with HIV-1-seronegative
mothers (P < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS: Families in Kinshasa, Zaire, in which
the mother was HIV-1-seropositive experienced a five to 10-fold higher
maternal, paternal and early childhood mortality rate than families in
which the mother was HIV-1-seronegative.
