Epidemiological Study of Risk Factors of HIV Using General Hospital UDI as a Case Study

This study explores the epidemiological study and risk factors of HIV based on a synthesis of recent studies that employ the Cox proportional hazards regression model. The research highlights significant variables influencing HIV progression, survival and treatment outcomes. Key findings indicate that functional statuses (bedridden) are critical predictors of HIV progression to AIDS and overall survival. Antiretroviral therapy (ART) has a substantial impact on reducing mortality risk among HIV patients, underscoring its importance in HIV management. The patients from geographical location Ezeagu are linked to poorer outcomes and higher mortality rates. The Cox model effectively captures the complex interplay of these variables, providing valuable insights into HIV epidemiology and identifying high-risk groups that require targeted interventions. These findings emphasize the need for comprehensive HIV care programs that address both medical and social determinants of health. The use of advanced statistical models like the Cox regression continues to be instrumental in unraveling the multifaceted nature of HIV and guiding public health strategies to mitigate its impact.
