To determine the effect of introduction of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) on survival following AIDS dementia complex (ADC).
Australian AIDS notification data in the period 1993-2000 were examined. In order to examine the impact of HAART, two periods of AIDS diagnoses were chosen: pre-HAART (1993-1995) and HAART (1996-2000). Median survival was based on Kaplan-Meier estimates, with examination of factors influencing survival in a Cox proportional hazards model.
In the period 1993-2000 in Australia, 5017 initial AIDS illnesses were diagnosed among 4351 AIDS patients. The proportion of AIDS cases with ADC increased from 5.2% in 1993-1995 to 6.8% in 1996-2000 (P = 0.029). Median survival following AIDS increased from 19.6 months for those diagnosed with AIDS in 1993-1995 to 39.6 months for those diagnosed in 1996-2000 (P < 0.0005). Median survival following ADC increased to a greater extent than that for all other AIDS illnesses, from 11.9 months in 1993-1995 to 48.2 in 1996-2000 (P < 0.0005). Most striking was the increase in survival among those with ADC and a CD4 cell count < 100 x 10(6) cells/l at diagnosis; 5.1 months in 1993-1995 to 38.5 months in 1996-2000 (P < 0.0005).
Although there has been a proportional increase in ADC at AIDS diagnosis, survival following ADC has improved markedly in the era of HAART.
确定引入高效抗逆转录病毒疗法(HAART)对艾滋病痴呆综合征(ADC)患者生存的影响。
研究了1993 - 2000年澳大利亚艾滋病报告数据。为了研究HAART的影响,选取了两个艾滋病诊断时期:HAART前(1993 - 1995年)和HAART时期(1996 - 2000年)。中位生存期基于Kaplan - Meier估计值,并在Cox比例风险模型中检验影响生存的因素。
1993 - 2000年期间,澳大利亚4351例艾滋病患者中诊断出5017例初发艾滋病疾病。艾滋病合并ADC病例的比例从1993 - 1995年的5.2%上升至1996 - 2000年的6.8%(P = 0.029)。艾滋病诊断后的中位生存期从1993 - 1995年诊断为艾滋病的患者的19.6个月增加到1996 - 2000年诊断患者的39.6个月(P < 0.0005)。ADC诊断后的中位生存期比所有其他艾滋病疾病的增加幅度更大,从1993 - 1995年的11.9个月增加到1996 - 2000年的48.2个月(P < 0.0005)。最显著的是诊断时CD4细胞计数<100×10⁶个/升的ADC患者的生存期增加;从1993 - 1995年的5.1个月增加到1996 - 2000年的38.5个月(P < 0.0005)。
尽管艾滋病诊断时合并ADC的比例有所增加,但在HAART时代,ADC诊断后的生存期有显著改善。
