To analyse plasma p24 antigen as a marker of survival in a cohort of HIV-infected patients whose time of seroconversion is unknown.
Prospective cohort study.
AIDS Unit in a teaching hospital.
251 patients were studied, most on antiretroviral therapy. Mean initial CD4 cell counts were 376 x 106/ 1 (range: 0.8-1350). 51 cases had been diagnosed previously with AIDS.
Analysis of survival, according to initial plasma p24 antigen was performed by Kaplan-Meier test. Relative risks were calculated by Cox's proportional hazards model.
During a follow-up period of 24 months, 46 patients died. Relative risk (RR) of death related to the group with p24 antigen = < 40 pg/ml was 3.32 when p24 antigen > 40 pg/ml (p = 0.0001). CD4+ cell levels adjusting, the result was 2.47 (CI 95% 1.37-4.46) (p = 0.0027).
Plasma levels of p24 antigen is useful as a marker of the risk of death and it behaves as a independent prognostic marker in our patients. P24 antigen = < 40 pg/ml is associated with a better prognosis.
分析血浆p24抗原作为一组血清转化时间未知的HIV感染患者生存标志物的情况。
前瞻性队列研究。
一家教学医院的艾滋病科。
对251例患者进行了研究,大多数患者接受抗逆转录病毒治疗。初始CD4细胞计数的平均值为376×10⁶/升(范围:0.8 - 1350)。51例患者先前已被诊断为艾滋病。
通过Kaplan - Meier检验根据初始血浆p24抗原分析生存情况。通过Cox比例风险模型计算相对风险。
在24个月的随访期内,46例患者死亡。当p24抗原>40 pg/ml时,与p24抗原≤40 pg/ml组相关的死亡相对风险(RR)为3.32(p = 0.0001)。调整CD4⁺细胞水平后,结果为2.47(95%置信区间1.37 - 4.46)(p = 0.0027)。
血浆p24抗原水平可作为死亡风险的标志物,并且在我们的患者中是一个独立的预后标志物。p24抗原≤40 pg/ml与较好的预后相关。
