摘要: Background Zidovudine therapy is recommended for asymptomatic patients infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) who have fewer than 500 CD4+ cells per cubic millimeter. An analysis of quality life associated that integrated both effects adverse events and benefits delayed disease progression might influence this recommendation. Methods We applied a survival adjusted to data from randomized trial conducted by AIDS Clinical Trials Group. The compared treatment mg zidovudine day, 1500 placebo (Protocol 019) in 1338 HIV-infected patients. Results average time neither nor an event (symptom or laboratory finding) was 15.7, 15.6, 14.8 months receiving placebo, zidovudine, respectively. incidence severe symptoms 13.8 percent group, 15.2 i...
