Routine Eye Screening by an Ophthalmologist Is Clinically Useful for HIV-1-Infected Patients with CD4 Count Less than 200 /μL.

Lower CD4 count (per 100 /μL decrement, OR 3.9, 95% CI 1.85–8.30, p<0.001) was also significantly associated with CMV retinitis, whereas presence of CMV diseases other than retinitis showed a trend toward association that was not statistically significant (OR 3.9, 95% CI 0.78–19.1, p = 0.097). 111 (87%) of 127 patients with HIV retinopathy had CD4 count less than 200 /μL (median 51 /μL, IQR 18–91 /μL, range 1–403 /μL). 34 (27%) patients were using systemic steroid, and 83 (65%) patients were with history of AIDS.
