- Abstract
Objective: to evaluate the survival of people with HIV/AIDS. Method: retrospective study, involving a sample of 1993 reports from 2007 to 2013, at the Clementino Fraga Hospital, in João Pessoa, Brazil, for evaluation of the Kaplan Meier survival curve and associated factors. Results: the majority were men (66.7%), mean age of 37.4 years and less than 8 years of schooling (54.3%). A total of 9.9% of patients died, from AIDS, with a mean survival time of 20.7 months. Of these deaths, 25% occurred within 4 months of notification and 50%, occurred within 15 months. They were associated with a reduction in survival: male gender (p = 0.002); pulmonary tuberculosis (0.003); Central Nervous System dysfunction (0.001); prolonged fever (0.016); hematological changes (<0.001) and persistent cough (0.033). Hematologic changes, pulmonary tuberculosis, CNS dysfunction and male gender increased, respectively, by 2.4, 1.6, 1.8 and 1.6 times the risk of death. Conclusion: the risk of AIDS mortality is higher in the first year after notification.
