The effect of HIV-hepatitis C co-infection on bone mineral density and fracture: a meta-analysis.

<h4>Objective</h4>There is a variable body of evidence on adverse bone outcomes in HIV patients co-infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV). We examined the association of HIV/HCV co-infection on osteoporosis or osteopenia (reduced bone mineral density; BMD) and fracture.<h4>Design<...

Significant association between co-infection and fracture was found compared to HIV mono-infected from cohort and case-control studies (pooled RR 1.57, 95% CI 1.33, 1.86) and compared to HIV/HCV uninfected from cohort (pooled RR 2.46, 95% CI 1.03, 3.88) and cross-sectional studies (pooled OR 2.30, 95% CI 2.09, 2.23).<h4>Conclusions</h4>The associations of co-infection with prevalent low BMD and risk of fracture are confirmed in this meta-analysis.
