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.
