These analyses restricted PWH aged \u226518 years enrolled between 2013 and 2024. Multimorbidity (\u2265chronic conditions in addition to HIV) was ascertained from International Classification of Diseases codes and clinical measurements. Multimorbidity was categorized into 3 trajectories: resilient, developed, and continued. Hospitalization reasons were ascertained by medical record review. Andersen\u2013Gill extensions of Cox proportional hazards models estimated adjusted hazard ratios (aHRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for the association of multimorbidity trajectory and hospitalization.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Among 3028 PWH, 36.6% (n = 1109) had multimorbidity at enrollment. Over 17 740 person-years, 721 hospitalizations occurred (incidence density: 4.06 per 100 person-years). Systemic infections (n = 209, 29.0%), predominantly malaria (n = 182, 87.1%), led admissions. In adjusted models, PWH with continued multimorbidity had a significantly higher risk of hospitalization (aHR = 1.27, 95% CI: 1.06\u20131.53) compared with resilient PWH.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>PWH with continued multimorbidity have a significantly increased risk of hospitalization.
