Clinical and laboratory predictors of survival in Gambian patients with symptomatic HIV-1 or HIV-2 infection.

摘要: Researchers analyzed data on 49 symptomatic patients with HIV-1 or HIV-2 at either the Royal Victoria Hospital in Banjul Medical Research Council Fajara Gambia between January 1987 and June 1990 to determine what clinical laboratory factors best predicted survival an African country. Patients died a faster rate than those (median = 6 13 months respectively) yet difference was not significant. Diagnosis of AIDS Karnofsky score were strong predictors (p .001 for vs. related complex (ARC) p .003 .0001 respectively). On other hand number infections admission age HIV type survival. The most powerful included log(e) neopterin level .001) beta 2 microglobulin .002) CD4 lymphocytes percentage .003) .009). High levels serum low numbers cells poor times. multivariate analysis showed that only counts .015) .005) .05) assuming diagnosis ARC AIDS. >
