| Summary, etc. | Abstract: <br/><br/>Background: HIV infection is associated with immunosuppression, leading to various opportunistic infections and complications, including chest X-ray abnormalities. Understanding the relationship between HIV stages, CD4 categories, sex, and chest X-ray findings is crucial for managing HIV patients effectively. <br/><br/>Objective: This retrospective record review study aimed to investigate the associations between HIV stages, CD4 categories, sex, and chest X-ray findings in adult HIV patients. Methods: A total of 147 adult HIV patients were included in the analysis, and their medical records were retrospectively reviewed. The study focused on the presence of chest X-ray abnormalities and distribution of HIV stages, CD4 categories, and sex among the patients. Statistical analysis, including chi-square tests, was employed to assess the associations between the variables. <br/><br/>Results: The study revealed significant associations between HIV stages, CD4 categories, and sex and chest X-ray findings in adult HIV patients. Patients with lower CD4 counts and advanced HIV stages showed an increased likelihood of abnormal chest X-ray results. Additionally, sex differences were observed, with female HIV patients having a higher prevalence of abnormal chest X-ray findings compared to males. <br/><br/>Conclusion: The findings from this retrospective record review study suggest that HIV stages, CD4 categories, and sex are important factors associates with chest X-ray abnormalities in adult HIV patients. Identifying these associations may aid in risk stratification, clinical management, and monitoring of HIV patients. Further research is warranted to explore underlying mechanisms and strengthen the evidence base. Keywords: HIV, chest X-ray abnormalities, CD4 count, HIV stages, sex, retrospective study. |
