As pessoas idosas, diagnosticadas tardiamente, tem maior risco de desenvolver AIDS. Com a contagem de CD4 inferior a 200 células/ml3, elas apresentam em média mais chances de morrer no primeiro ano após o diagnóstico. O objetivo desta revisão de escopo é mapear evidências relativas aos fatores associados e de risco do diagnóstico tardio de HIV/AIDS em pessoas idosas, mas especificamente, esta revisão quer dar resposta às seguintes questões: Quais são os fatores associados do diagnóstico tardio de HIV/AIDS em pessoas idosas? Quais são os fatores de riscos do diagnóstico tardio de HIV/AIDS em pessoas idosas? Que contexto o diagnóstico tardio de HIV/AIDS em pessoas idosas foi realizado? Esta revisão será orientada pela metodologia do Joanna Briggs Institute, que assentará na estratégia de definição dos participantes, conceito e contexto. Os resultados serão apresentados pelo resumo lógico e descritivo, apresentados, como um mapa de dados extraídos dos artigos e alinhado com o objetivo e as perguntas da revisão de escopo. Espera-se que esta revisão de escopo contribua para a análise compreensiva das práticas de cuidados à saúde das pessoas idosas.

Elderly people, diagnosed late, have a higher risk of developing AIDS. With a CD4 count of less than 200 cells / ml3, they are on average more likely to die in the first year after diagnosis. The purpose of this scope review is to map evidence regarding the associated risk factors of late diagnosis of HIV / AIDS in older people, but specifically, this review aims to address the following questions: What are the associated factors of late diagnosis of HIV / AIDS in elderly people? What are the risk factors for late diagnosis of HIV / AIDS in elderly people? In what context was the late diagnosis of HIV / AIDS in elderly people given? This review will be guided by the methodology of the Joanna Briggs Institute, which will be based on participant definition strategy, concept and context. Results will be presented by the logical and descriptive summary, presented as a map of data extracted from the articles and aligned with the objective and scope review questions. This scope review is expected to contribute to a comprehensive analysis of the health care practices of elderly people.

Las personas mayores, diagnosticadas tardíamente, tienen un mayor riesgo de desarrollar SIDA.

Factors associated with the occurrence of adverse events to antiretroviral therapy in adults and elderly living with HIV

Objectives: This study identifies the factors associated with the occurrence of adverse events in adults and elderly on antiretroviral therapy. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study carried out with adults and elderly patients, attended by the Specialized Assistance Service between September 2016 and August 2017. Adverse events were measured through self-reports collected in interviews, information collected in medical records, and changes identified in laboratory tests, with the degree of causality being assessed using the Naranjo Algorithm. Univariate analysis, with results expressed as odds ratio (OR) and their respective confidence intervals (CI 95%), was performed to estimate the association between sociodemographic, pharmacotherapeutic, and clinical characteristics (explanatory variables) with the occurrence of four or more adverse events to antiretroviral therapy (response variable). For multivariate analysis, multiple logistic regression was considered in order to verify the permanence or absence of associations previously found in the univariate analysis. Results: Prevalence of adverse events to antiretroviral therapy was 92.6%, with the median of adverse events being four (IQR 25%: 2 ; IQR 75%: 5) and two (IQR 25%: 2 ; IQR 75%: 4), respectively, among adults and elderly (p <0.05). Additionally, 340 adverse events were identified, among which nightmares (15.0%) and vertigo (13.5%) were the most frequent. Most of the adverse events identified were classified as possible (96.2% / n = 327). In the initial univariate analysis, factors such receipt of guidance on adverse events and age were associated with a higher occurrence of adverse events to antiretroviral therapy. Contrary to expectations, the elderly were considered less susceptible to have adverse events when compared to adults (OR = 0.363; CI 95% = 0.164-0.801). However, the final multivariate analysis model revealed "receipt of guidance on adverse events" as the only variable significantly associated with the presence of four or more adverse events to antiretroviral therapy (OR = 4.183 ; CI 95% = 1.775-9.855). Conclusions: Results suggest difference in perception of adverse events between patients who received and those who did not receive guidance in this regard, which indicates the importance of health professionals to provide specific information to their patients regarding adverse events to antiretroviral therapy. Thus the patient can understand the effects generated by the treatment and inform these professionals for the notification of adverse events, in order to improve pharmacovigilance actions and promote patient safety.

Limitações funcionais e incapacidades de idosos com síndrome de imunodeficiência adquirida / Functional limitation and disabilities of older people with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome

Objetivo: Avaliar a capacidade funcional de idosos com síndrome de imunodeficiência adquirida (HIV/AIDS). Métodos Estudo transversal com inquérito epidemiológico observacional com a coleta de dados realizada através de entrevistas e fonte documental de 142 idosos portadores do vírus da imunodeficiência humana, entre 60 e 81 anos de idade, avaliados pelos domínios de funcionalidade cognitiva, saúde mental e Atividades da Vida Diária. Foram realizadas análise absoluta e relativa das variáveis contínuas, além da associação das variáveis independentes. Resultados Viviam com AIDS 82,39% dos idosos da amostra; 35,2% deles tinham mais de 9 anos de estudo e 35% usavam maconha. Dentre eles, 71,7% se contaminaram em relações heterossexuais e 70,3% em relações com múltiplos parceiros. Constatou-se satisfatória a adesão à terapia antirretroviral. Foi significativa a perda funcional naqueles com 70 anos ou mais de idade de ambos os sexos. Conclusão As perdas funcionais dos idosos portadores não foram diferentes das verificadas em outros estudos com população idosa não portadora.

Objective: To evaluate functional ability of older people with human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS). Methods This cross-sectional study using observational epidemiological inquiry collected data through interviews and from medical record of 142 older people with HIV/AIDS age 60 to 81 years. Participants were evaluated for cognitive functionality, mental health and activities of daily living domains. We conducted absolute and relative analyses of continuous variables and associations of independent variables. Results Among the study participants, 82.39% had AIDS, 35.2% had more than 9 years of formal education, and 35% were still using cannabis. HIV was transmitted during heterosexual intercourse in 71.7% of participants and through sex with multiple partners in 70.3%. Adherence to antiretroviral therapy was satisfactory. Functional loss was significant among those age 70 years or older from both sexes. Conclusion Functional loss of older people with HIV/AIDS did not differ from results found in the literature among the HIV-negative aging population.
