Abstract

The study of survival of people with AIDS permits to evaluate the situation of the epidemic, particularly the impact of measures and policy interventions. The impact of antiretroviral therapy has been associated with increased survival of patients with AIDS in various parts of the world. Tuberculosis is a major disease associated with HIV infection, but the survival in patients with co-infection AIDS and tuberculosis is not well established in Brazil. The objective of this study is to evaluate the survival time of patients with AIDS who developed the tuberculosis coinfection, according to covariates: socio-demographics, epidemiologicals, clinicals and utilization of health services. This is a retrospective cohort study of sample of medical records of individuals aged 13 or over with a diagnosis of AIDS, reported in the Notifiable Diseases Information System (SINAN), in the South and Southeast regions of Brazil. The cohort was established with cases reported in 1998 and 1999 with retrospective follow-up of 10 years. Expected to compare the survival of infected adults diagnosed with AIDS with and without coinfection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis, showing the estimators and survival curve in the South and Southeast regions of the country.
