Morbidity and survival in advanced XXXX in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

@entity1 @entity404 @entity465 @entity1292 @entity791 @entity204
@entity1292 ( @entity1292 ) are the most common cause of @entity204 in @entity791 @entity1 . To access the incidence of @entity1292 and survival in advanced @entity465 , we included 79 @entity1 with @entity791 treated at Hospital Evandro Chagas (FIOCRUZ) from September 1997 to December 1999 with at least one @entity404 count <or=100 cells/mm(3). The incidence of @entity1292 was analyzed by Poisson's regression, and survival by Kaplan Meier and Cox analysis, considering a retrospective (before @entity404 <or=100 cells/mm(3)) and a prospective (after @entity404 <or=100 cells/mm(3)) period, and controlling for demographic, clinical and laboratory characteristics. The confidence interval estipulated was 95%. Mean follow-up period was 733 days (CI = 683-782). During the study 9 (11.4%) @entity1 died. Survival from @entity791 diagnosis was a mean of 2589 days (CI = 2363-2816) and from the date of the @entity404 count @entity404 <or=100 cells/mm(3) was a mean of 1376 (CI = 1181-1572) days. Incidence of @entity1292 was 0.51 pp/y before @entity404 <or= 100 cells/mm(3) and 0.29 pp/y after @entity404 <or= 100 cells/mm(3). A lower number of ODs before @entity404 < 100 cells/mm(3) was associated with lower incidence rates after @entity404 <or= 100 cells/mm(3). @entity791 diagnosis based on @entity404 + counts <or= 200 cells/mm(3) was associated with lower incidence rates after @entity404 <or= 100 cells/mm(3). Baseline @entity404 counts above 50 cells/mm(3) (HR = 0.13) and restoration of baseline @entity404 + counts above 100 cells/mm(3) (HR = 0.16) were associated with a lower risk of @entity204 . Controlling both variables, only restoration of baseline counts was statistically significant (HR = 0.22, p = 0.04). We found a very low incidence of @entity1292 and long survival after @entity404 < 100 cells/mm(3). Survival was significantly associated with restoration of baseline @entity404 counts above 100 cells/mm(3).
