Abstract

This study was performed in an attempt to determine clinical correlates of declines in physical functioning in people with AIDS. An 8-month longitudinal cohort study was performed at three sites in Boston, Massachusetts: a private academic group practice, an AIDS clinic at a public teaching hospital, and a staff-model health maintenance organization. Intermediate activities of daily living (IADLs), 10 symptoms and symptom complexes, mental health, and weight loss were assessed by interview in 201 persons with AIDS. Clinical diagnoses, comorbidities, laboratory results, and use of selected medications were assessed by chart review. Participants were young (mean age, 36 years), 92% were male, 35% were nonwhite, and 27% had a history of injection drug use. The mean 8-month decrement in physical functioning was 9.6 points on a 100-point scale, and mean weight loss was 2.3 kg. After adjusting for baseline functioning, age, sex, race, and educational level, independent predictors of the 8-month IADL score included worsening fatigue (p = .0002), worsening neurologic symptoms (p = .001), weight loss (p = .0001), Candida esophagitis (p = .020), hypertension (p = .0005), depression (p = .004), and gastrointestinal (GI) disease (p = .018,...Continue Reading
