Impact of HIV on admissions and deaths in a tuberculosis hospital--recommendations for admission and discharge criteria.

Year: 2003

Type: article

Abstract: Mortality and HIV prevalence rose concordantly at Brooklyn Chest Hospital from 1998 to 2001. Death and unconfirmed tuberculosis (TB) (15% of adult admissions in a sample from 2000) were associated with HIV seropositivity. Excluding unconfirmed TB and shortening length of stay would increase the number of patients able to benefit from hospitalisation.
