Years of potential life lost due to HIV infection and associated factors based on national HIV surveillance data in Latvia, 1991–2010

Abstract

A considerable number of years of potential life have been lost in Latvia due to HIV. YPLL is significantly associated with ethnicity and mode of HIV transmission.

Years of potential life lost in HIV/AIDS patients and its determinant factor

“…As supported by Andarwatolanrain (2016) that the potential life lost in men is lower than women. However, Karnite et al (2013) reported the opposite way, she found that the average years of YPLL for men in Lativa is higher than women, even if no significant relationship.…”

“…Meanwhile, Karnite reported the average YPLL in Latvia for 28.8 years (Karnite et al, 2013;Rumisha et al, 2020). Andarwatolanrain also found that there is meaningful relation between diagnosis age and the average years of YPLL, the lower the diagnosis age the bigger the YPLL (Andarwatolanrain, 2016).…”

“…The punctuality of HIV diagnosis affect the YPLL. The delay in diagnosis made people with HIV/AIDS lose two years of his life potential (Karnite, Brigis, & Uuskula, 2013).…”

“…While for the relation between risk of transmission factor and the average years of YPLL showed no connection. As Karnite et al (2013) stated that there was significant differentiation between the average years of YPLL in IDU and non-IDU. Wood et al, (2006) also found that the HIV patients who infected through IDU had more chance to death than the non IDU.…”

Anos potenciais de vida perdidos por aids no sexo feminino, no Sul do Brasil: estudo descritivo, 2007-2017

“…2 Desde 2007, Porto Alegre apresenta elevação persistente das taxas de mortalidade de mulheres relacionada à aids, 3,4 situando-se entre as capitais com as maiores taxas, especialmente entre mulheres de 30 a 39 anos. 5 Apesar das evidências da elevada carga de doença relacionada à aids nas mulheres, 1 são poucos os estudos dedicados a investigar os anos potenciais de vida perdidos (APVPs) nesse segmento da população, [6][7][8][9] estudos propostos a investigar o número de anos que determinada população deixa de viver se morrer prematuramente, por determinada causa. 10 Um deles, realizado na Tanzânia, sobre causas da mortalidade precoce, evidenciou que a aids foi responsável pelo maior número de APVPs, inclusive com aumento desse indicador entre 2006 e 2015, e que mulheres tiveram mais APVPs por essa causa do que homens.…”
