“…In recent years, end stage liver disease has become a major cause of morbidity and mortality in patients chronically infected with the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) who are coinfected with hepatitis C (HCV) or B virus (HBV) (1)(2)(3)(4). This trend may be explained by a prolonged exposure to viral hepatitis, because most patients were infected with HCV in the 1980s.…”

“…Several studies including the French national survey, "Mortalité 2000", have shown that complications of HCV and HBV are the second most frequent underlying cause of death after AIDS in HIV-infected patients, accounting for around 10% of deaths (1)(2)(3)(4).…”

“…From 1995 to 2010, the proportion of AIDS-related deaths in this survey of HIVinfected adults decreased from 92% to 20% of all causes of death. Over this period of time, the proportion of liverrelated deaths dramatically increased (11-fold higher) during the first decade and LRDs were a leading cause of mortality [5][6][7][8]20], as shown in other European and US studies [21][22][23], and were ranked first as a cause of mortality in HCV/HIV-infected individuals [18]. In 2010, the curve appeared to flatten out, LRDs representing the second most frequent non-AIDS-related cause of death in this population, as recently reported in the Swiss HIV Cohort Study [24].…”
