| Summary: | ABSTRACT Objectives: to compare the sociodemographic and clinical severity indicators of hospitalized people with HIV in relation to clinical outcomes and urgent hospital admission. Methods: a retrospective cohort study was conducted with 102 medical records of HIV-infected individuals hospitalized in a hospital in southern Brazil. In addition to descriptive analysis, Fisher’s exact test, Pearson’s Chi-square, and logistic regression were used. Results: the data showed a significant direct effect on severity indicators in the following variables: male sex (p=0.013), skin color (p=0.023), level of education (p=0.000), urgent admissions (p=0.000), late diagnosis (p=0.001), diabetes mellitus (p=0.001), hypertension (p=0.004), kidney disease (p=0.002), high viral load (p=0.006), CD4+ count below 200 (p=0.005), fever (p=0.016), weight loss (p=0.013), co-infection with hepatitis C (p=0.004), and mortality (p=0.007). Conclusions: three sociodemographic and thirteen clinical markers were identified as being associated with the risk of clinical deterioration in hospitalized people with HIV. |
