Oral fluconazole should be considered the primary treatment for oropharyngeal candidiasis in the HIV-infected population with AIDS status.","PeriodicalId":80390,"journal":{"name":"AIDS patient care","volume":"9 1","pages":"56-59"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1089/APC.1995.9.56","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"60798659","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

HIV infection and related illnesses continue to cause high rates of morbidity and mortality, and therapeutic management of these patients requires a wide array of drugs and medications. Such drug treatments include physician-prescribed drugs, investigational drugs, alternative and complementary therapies, and drugs acquired as a result of information obtained through the AIDS underground networks. As the number of infected people continues to rise, we see more polytherapy among patients. This necessitates the involvement of clinical pharmacists who have the expertise to provide high quality pharmaceutical care to these patients.

This study reports on the average monthly costs of care used in the last 6 months of life by a group of people with AIDS between 1984 and 1990. Hospital and outpatient visits, laboratory results, and medications were evaluated for all subjects. Standard costs (1990 dollars) were applied to all services. The 81 subjects received care in a large private medical practice located in northern California. The group was primarily male (98 percent), white (87 percent), and gay or bisexual (89 percent). Mean age at diagnosis of AIDS was 40.8 (SE = 1.1). Patients averaged a total of 2.9 (SE = 0.2) opportunistic infections (OIs) from the diagnosis of AIDS to death. Median survival was 13.2 months. The primary outcome measures were the components of the costs of terminal care: inpatient visits and outpatient costs. Covariates include location of death, year of death, and OIs. Average monthly terminal care resources included 8.3 days of in-hospital care, $8258 in costs for inpatients care, $840 in outpatient costs, and $9098 in total costs. Death at home increased in frequency (from 20 percent for 1984-1987 to 37 percent for 1987-1990). However, costs in the last 6 months of life did not change significantly as costs for patients who died in the hospital decreased and costs for patients who died at home increased over time. Policies that promote dying at home, while likely to affect patient quality of life, may not lower health care costs.","PeriodicalId":80390,"journal":{"name":"AIDS patient care","volume":"9 1 1","pages":"7-9"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1089/APC.1995.9.7","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"60798935","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
