ABSTRACT
Background: The evaluation of quality of life related to
health (HRQOL) has become an important prognostic
indicator in HIV/AIDS. The aim of this study was to
determine the impact of socio-demographic, clinical and
psychological factors in HRQOL in a group of subjects
with HIV/AIDS in northwestern Mexico and determine
which variables best predict HRQOL.
Methods: In a cross-sectional study with a sample of
87% of patients receiving care at a clinic for HIV/AIDS in
northwestern Mexico between November 2010 to June
2011, we measure the HRQOL using the Tool Medical
Outcomes Study HIV Health Survey (MOS-HIV). A
model of multiple linear regression was performed to
identify variables that allow us to predict HRQOL in this
population.
Results: In a sample of 54 subjects with HIV/AIDS.
Patients had an average age of 43 ± 9 years, 83% were
men with a mean time of 6.5 ± 4.5 years from diagnosis.
HRQOL scores of physical and mental health of the
participants were 57 ± 6 and 57 ± 13 respectively. In
multivariate analysis, the variables that influenced the
physical health punctuation were gender, marital status,
sexual orientation, time since diagnosis and viral load
(log).
Conclusions: Prospective studies are needed to better
explain the influence of the factors that predict changes
or trends in HRQOL in patients with HIV/AIDS.
