Hospitalizations for AIDS, United States, 1984-85
Abstract:
Data from the National Hospital Discharge Survey on hospitalizations for acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) were analyzed for 1984-85. During 1984, an estimated 10,000 discharges from short-stay hospitals had a diagnosis of AIDS. In 1985, this figure more than doubled to 23,000. Ninety-seven percent of all AIDS discharges were male and 85 per cent were between the ages of 25 and 44. Hospitalizations for AIDS accounted for 510,000 days of hospital care and lasted an average of 15.6 days each.
