RESUMEN

Objetivo:

Valorar la eficacia del tratamiento antirretroviral en mujeres con infección por VIH, evaluar la evolución de la enfermedad y establecer la supervivencia.

Diseño:

Estudio retrospectivo que comprende desde el año 1985 hasta Diciembre de 2004. Incluye 75 mujeres elegidas aleatoriamente de entre todas las pacientes del Servicio de Consultas Externas del Hospital Arnau de Vilanova, mayores de 18 años, con infección por VIH y con tratamiento antirretroviral. Las pacientes se han dividido en dos grupos en función de la fecha de inicio de la terapia, antes o después de 1997, ya que a partir de este año se produjo un cambio significativo en la terapia antirretroviral.

Método:

Se realizó una comparación del perfil epidemiológico y demográfico, del tratamiento inicial y final, de la eficacia del tratamiento antirretroviral, de la evolución de la infección y de la supervivencia en los dos grupos de pacientes.

Resultados:

Un 66.7% de las pacientes del primer grupo y un 85.2% de las pacientes del segundo tuvieron cargas virales negativas al final del estudio. El 47,9% de las pacientes que iniciaron tratamiento antes de 1997 consiguieron mantener recuentos de linfocitos CD4 superior a 500 células/ml frente al 59,3% de las pacientes que iniciaron tratamiento a partir de 1997. Sólo hubo 6 fallecidos correspondiendo al primer grupo de las pacientes.

Conclusiones:

los datos obtenidos en nuestro estudio sugieren que el tratamiento antirretroviral ha sido eficaz en los dos grupos de pacientes lo que ha permitido una buena evolución de las mismas y prolongar su supervivencia
ABSTRACT

Objectives:

To assess antiretroviral treatment in women with HIV infection, to evaluate the evolution of the disease and to establish the survival rate of these patients.

Design:

A retrospective study performed from 1985 to December, 2004. Seventy-five women, chosen randomly from all patients attending the Out-patients Department, Arnau de Vilanova Hospital, Spain. All patients were over 18 years of age, with HIV infection and undergoing antiretroviral treatment. Patients were divided into two groups according to the starting date of therapy, before or after the year 1997 when a significant change in antiretroviral therapy took place, referring both to the number of drugs used and their potency.

Methods:

A comparison was made regarding the epidemiological and demographic profile, the initial and final treatment, the efficacy of antiretroviral treatment, the evolution of the HIV infection and the survival rate between both groups of patients.

Results:

Sixty-six point seven per cent (66.7%) of the patients in the first group and 85.2% of patients in the second had negative viral loads at study end. Forty-seven point nine per cent (47.9%) of patients starting treatment before 1997, maintained CD4 lymphocyte counts above 500 cells/mL compared with 59.3% of the patients who started treatment after 1997. There were only 6 deaths, which corresponded to the first group of patients.

Conclusions:

The data obtained from our study suggests that antiretroviral treatment is effective in both groups of patients, and has enabled good evolution and lengthened the survival rate
