As one of these countries, the case in Ethiopia is not different. The aim of this study was thus to assess reasons for hospitalization, discharge outcomes, and predictors of inpatient mortality among people living with HIV (PLWH) in Jimma University Specialized Hospital (JUSH), Jimma, Southwest Ethiopia. Prospective observational study was conducted in medical wards of JUSH from February 17<jats:sup>th<\/jats:sup>to August 17<jats:sup>th<\/jats:sup>, 2017. In this study, 101 PLWH admitted during the study period were included. To identify the predictors of mortality, multiple logistic regression analysis was employed. Of the 101 hospitalized PLWH, 62 (61.4%) of them were females and most of them (52.5%) were between 25 and 34 years of age. A majority (79.2%) of the study participants were known HIV patients, before their admission. Tuberculosis (24.8%), infections of the nervous system (18.8%), and pneumonia (9.9%) comprised more than half of the reasons for hospitalization. Moreover, drug-related toxicity was a reason for hospitalization of 6 (5.9%) patients. Outcomes of hospitalization indicated that the overall inpatient mortality was 18 (17.8%). The median CD4 cell counts for survivors and deceased patients were 202 cells\/<jats:italic>\u03bc<\/jats:italic>L (IQR, 121\u2013295\u2009cells\/<jats:italic>\u03bc<\/jats:italic>L) and 70 cells\/<jats:italic>\u03bc<\/jats:italic>L (IQR, 42\u2013100\u2009cells\/<jats:italic>\u03bc<\/jats:italic>L), respectively.
