Abstract:

The study investigates the survival of patients with co-infection AIDS-TB through a retrospective cohort study of individuals aged 13 or more and diagnosis of AIDS reported in the years 1998-99 and following 10 years. Of the 2091 AIDS cases, 517 (24.7%) had positive diagnosis for tuberculosis, and 379 (73.3%) was male. The risk among co-infected was 1.65 times the non-coinfected. The variables associated with longer survival were: female gender (HR = 0.63), educational level ≥ eight years (HR = 0.52), CD4 diagnostic criteria (HR = 0.64); and shorter survival: age ≥ 60 years (HR = 2.33), no use of HAART (HR = 8.62), no investigation to Hepatitis B (HR = 2.44) and opportunistic infections ≥ two (HR = 1.97). The cumulative survival it was 71% among non coinfected and 62% in coinfected in the South and 74% and 58%, in the Southeast, 60 months after the diagnosis of AIDS. AIDS and tuberculosis are two chronic diseases can be analyzed as markers difficulties to overcome still present limitations in life expectancy in Brazil.
