RESUMO
Objective To study effect of extended care on quality of life of elderly patients with AIDS and effect on virus load ,so as to provide theory gist for care of AIDS .Methods A total of 80 cases of elderly patients with AIDS diagnosed and treated in our hospital since March 2014 to March 2016 were selected as the subjects of study ,and all patients were treated with highly active an-tiretroviral therapy and other conventional treatment .And 40 cases of patients provided with conventional treatment on the base of highly active antiretroviral therapy were set as control group ,while the other 40 cases of patients provided with extended care were set as observation group .Patients in two groups were evaluated for quality of life via HARRT before and after care ,and two care methods were compared for effect on treatment compliance .Levels of subgroups of T lymphocytes CD4+ before care ,in 3 moths and 6 months after care was examined ,while virus load of HIV was detected via polymerase chain reaction (PCR) .Results The score of HARRT in observation group after care was improved compared with that before care .The treatment compliance of observation group was 95 .00% ,which was significantly higher than 72 .50% in control group(P<0 .05) .The levels of CD4+ in observation group after treating 3 moths and 6 months were dramatically higher than that in the control group(P<0 .05) .After receiving treat-ment ,the proportion of patients with total blood virus load lower than 50 copies/L in observation group was 80 .00% ,which was significantly higher than 62 .50% in control group(P<0 .05) .Conclusion Basic treatment combined with extended care for elderly patients with AIDS could improve quality of life ,treatment compliance and immune functionsignificantly ,so as to assist control for virus load .
