AB OBJECTIVE: To examine disease progression by race/ethnicity among
patients seen at U.S. Army medical centers, we compared whites (n = 908)
and blacks (n = 1301) presenting with the following CD4+ counts at their
initial visit: (Cohort 1) CD4+ > 500; (Cohort 2) CD4+ 200-500; (Cohort
3) CD4+ < 200. Initial CD4+ counts of seroconverters were also compared.
METHODS: For life table analyses, whites were matched to blacks (1:1) on
age (< 29, > or = 29), year of initial exam (< 1989, > or = 1989),
gender, and initial CD4+ counts in 100 cell intervals. To estimate the
relative hazard (RH) from the proportional hazard model, unmatched data
were used with whites as the baseline and matching factors included to
control for confounding TABULAR DATA, SEE ABSTRACT VOLUME. CONCLUSION:
These analyses compared progression by race/ethnicity at four phases of
HIV-1 disease among individuals in the U.S. Army, where there are no
race/ethnic barriers to medical treatment. Overall, a pattern emerged
where blacks had a somewhat better survival experience than whites, but
not all analyses were statistically significant.
