In this article, we evaluate the effect of the 1987 revised CDC AIDS definition on the AIDS epidemiological surveillance in Catalonia. From data collected in our population-based registry, we observed a 1.3- and a 1.6-fold increase in AIDS prevalence and incidence rates, respectively. In our setting, the new criteria appear to affect case ascertainment in male intravenous drug abusers, with extrapulmonary tuberculosis being the disease that accounts for the major increase in the identified cases. An additional effect of this case revision has been on the median survival time of AIDS patients, which will probably increase due to the use of the new definition criteria.
在本文中，我们评估了1987年修订的美国疾病控制与预防中心（CDC）艾滋病定义对加泰罗尼亚艾滋病流行病学监测的影响。根据我们基于人群的登记系统收集的数据，我们观察到艾滋病患病率和发病率分别增加了1.3倍和1.6倍。在我们的研究环境中，新的标准似乎影响了男性静脉注射吸毒者的病例确诊情况，肺外结核病是导致确诊病例大幅增加的疾病。此次病例修订的另一个影响是对艾滋病患者的中位生存时间，使用新的定义标准可能会使其延长。
