Abstract

Introduction: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has become the greatest critical healthcare concern in 2020. The present study investigated the correlation between COVID-19 distribution and the prevalence of human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS) among countries. Material and methods: Data were obtained from publicly available data on COVID-19 and HIV/AIDS, such as the World Health Organization (WHO) and Global Burden of Disease (GBD). Bivariate correlation analyses were used to investigate the correlation between the variables. Results: COVID-19 cases and death ratio negatively correlated with the prevalence of HIV/AIDS (r = -0.40 and r = -0.38, p < 0.05, respectively). Conclusions: The findings indicated that in countries with high prevalence of HIV/AIDS, COVID-19 cases and death ratio were low, which could be due to the type of therapy or screening system. Nevertheless, further studies are required in this field.
HIV/AIDS与COVID-19变量的关联:一项生态学研究
2019冠状病毒病(COVID-19)已成为2020年最大的关键医疗问题。本研究调查了COVID-19分布与各国人类免疫缺陷病毒/获得性免疫缺陷综合征(HIV/AIDS)流行之间的相关性。材料和方法:数据来自世界卫生组织(WHO)和全球疾病负担(GBD)等有关COVID-19和艾滋病毒/艾滋病的公开数据。采用双变量相关分析考察各变量之间的相关性。结果:COVID-19病例数和死亡率与HIV/AIDS患病率呈负相关(r = -0.40、r = -0.38, p < 0.05)。结论:研究结果表明,在艾滋病毒/艾滋病高流行国家,COVID-19病例和死亡率较低,这可能与治疗类型或筛查系统有关。然而,这一领域仍需进一步研究。
