Abstract

Human Immunodeficiency Virus--HIV
During 1983-1988, hospitalizations of patients with a diagnosis of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection increased from 1.3 to 33.7 per 100,000 persons. We used the National Hospital Discharge Survey, which is based on a representative sample of discharges from nonfederal short-day hospitals, to describe illnesses among hospitalized patients with HIV infection. Of 222,200 such hospitalizations during 1983-1988, most occurred among persons who were 25-44 years of age (79%), white (66%), and male (90%). The data provide a minimum estimate of HIV hospitalizations because for some patients HIV infection may not be specified on the discharge record. HIV hospitalizations are increasing markedly and are associated with a broad spectrum of severe morbidity.
