| Popis: | Our retrospective cohort study assesses the survival probability and identifies the demographic and clinical predictors of mortality in HIV patients taking antiretroviral therapy using an antiretroviral therapy centre data in Western India. Secondary data on 7532 registered HIV-infected individuals between September 2006 and January 2013 were analysed. The probability of survival at 75 months was 84.9%. Significant indicators of poor chances of survival were greater age, lower occupation class, lower CD4 count, poor functional status; higher stage of disease, lower weight, the presence and type of opportunistic infections, co-trimoxazole therapy and poor adherence to antiretroviral therapy. We thus find that, in addition to pre-ART, antiretroviral therapy clinical status and treatment adherence, socioeconomic status plays an important influence on ultimate survival of HIV patients on antiretroviral therapy. |
