To measure the extent and characteristics of cases of duplicate notification of diagnoses of Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) between Australia and New Zealand.
Cases of AIDS notified to the national AIDS registries in both Australia and New Zealand were identified, using date of birth and a name code. Cases determined to have been notified to both registries were analysed with respect to exposure category, country of birth and country of death.
Twenty-six cases of AIDS were determined to be common to both registries, representing 1.1% of cases notified to the Australian registry and 11.1% of cases notified to the New Zealand registry. Exposure to HIV was attributed to male homosexual contact for all cases, and a history of injecting drug use was reported more frequently to the Australian registry for the cases in common. For the majority of cases notified to both registries, country of birth was recorded as New Zealand. Deaths following AIDS were reported as occurring in both countries with equal frequency.
衡量澳大利亚和新西兰之间获得性免疫缺陷综合征(艾滋病)诊断重复通报病例的范围和特征。
利用出生日期和姓名编码,确定通报给澳大利亚和新西兰国家艾滋病登记处的艾滋病病例。对确定已通报给两个登记处的病例,就暴露类别、出生国家和死亡国家进行分析。
确定有26例艾滋病病例在两个登记处都有记录,占通报给澳大利亚登记处病例的1.1%,占通报给新西兰登记处病例的11.1%。所有病例的艾滋病毒暴露均归因于男性同性恋接触,在共同病例中,澳大利亚登记处报告的注射吸毒史更为常见。在通报给两个登记处的大多数病例中,出生国家记录为新西兰。艾滋病相关死亡在两个国家的报告频率相同。
