AB Trends in the utilization of various hospital resources by HIV-infected
persons between January 1987 and June 1990 have been studied to support
health care planning. Data on 126 asymptomatic and symptomatic
HIV-infected persons have been recorded at a patient level and analyzed
at half-yearly intervals. At a hospital level, increasing utilization
trends were observed. At the patient level, a decreasing utilization
intensity was measured for admissions, inpatient days, inpatient
diagnostic examinations, and outpatient consultations. Increasing
utilization intensity was measured for care during admissions. A
constant utilization intensity was observed for outpatient diagnostic
examinations and inpatient medication days. Use of interventions tended
to increase at the end of the study period. Discriminating between
trends in the utilization of different hospital resources can improve
the management of hospital health care demands of HIV-infected people.
