We describe the changes in the socio demographic, risk behavior, immunological and clinical trends profiles of a cohort HIV patients followed at the Retrovirus Research Center, at baseline and study periods interval by periods intervals: 1992-1997, 1998-2003, and 2004-2008.
This is a cross-sectional study of a longitudinal cohort comprised of 4016 HIV/AIDS patients admitted to the RRC since January 1992. Data collected include socio-demographic variables; risk related variables; psychological variables; and clinical variable by periods of study. RESULTS. The most common AIDS defining conditions observed in patients were: Pneumocistis Cariini pneumonia (PCP), toxoplasmosis of brain (TP), and wasting syndrome (WS). Chronic conditions are more prevalent than AIDS-defining conditions in the cohort of patients.
Understanding the socio demographic, HIV risk behavior profile; and the immunological and clinical trends among HIV patients is critical for redesigning services and programs oriented in HIV patient care.
我们描述了在逆转录病毒研究中心随访的一组HIV患者在基线期以及1992 - 1997年、1998 - 2003年和2004 - 2008年各研究期间的社会人口统计学、风险行为、免疫学和临床趋势概况的变化。
这是一项对自1992年1月起入住RRC的4016名HIV/AIDS患者组成的纵向队列的横断面研究。收集的数据包括社会人口统计学变量、风险相关变量、心理变量以及各研究期间的临床变量。结果：患者中最常见的艾滋病定义疾病为：卡氏肺孢子虫肺炎（PCP）、脑弓形虫病（TP）和消瘦综合征（WS）。慢性病在该患者队列中比艾滋病定义疾病更为普遍。
了解HIV患者的社会人口统计学、HIV风险行为概况以及免疫学和临床趋势对于重新设计以HIV患者护理为导向的服务和项目至关重要。
