Perfil sociodemografico de óbitos por HIV/AIDS com coinfecçãode tuberculoseno ano de 2020 a 2022 em um hospital de referência

Abstract

To describe the sociodemographic profile of patients with HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis coinfection who died at a referral hospital in the state of Amazonas. Method: A quantitative, descriptive, and retrospective study was conducted based on the analysis of secondary data obtained from medical records of patients who died as a result of the coinfection. The analyzed variables included age, sex, race/color, educational level, marital status, and municipality of residence, which were organized in an electronic spreadsheet and submitted to descriptive statistical analysis. Results: Among the analyzed cases, 74.2% were male, 51.5% were between 40 and 59 years old, 30.3% were between 20 and 39 years old, and 18.2% were aged 60 years or older. Most patients were mixed-race (“pardo”) (77.3%), had incomplete elementary education (21.5%), and lived in Manaus (75.3%). Regarding marital status, 63.6% were single. Incomplete records related to educational level and race/color were observed, indicating weaknesses in medical record documentation. Conclusion: Mortality associated with HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis reflects social, racial, and territorial inequalities, highlighting the need to strengthen the integration between control programs, improve clinical records, and decentralize healthcare services. The study emphasizes the role of nursing in treatment adherence and in coordinating different levels of care, contributing to the reduction of regional inequities and the improvement of epidemiological surveillance.
