Data Source

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, National Center for Health Statistics, National Vital Statistics System—Mortality.

Denominator

U.S. resident population.

Numerator

Number of deaths due to HIV infection (ICD-10-CM codes B20-B24).

Management of HIV/AIDS

Measure Title

HIV patients with CD4 counts less than 200 who received Pneumocystis jiroveci pneumonia (PCP) prophylaxis.

Measure Source

The HIV Research Network.

Table

59. HIV patients age 18 and over with CD4 cell count less than 200 who received PCP prophylaxis, United States, 2003, by

• Race

Data Source

HIV Research Network, sponsored by multiple Federal agencies: the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), the Center for Substance Abuse Treatment in the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), the HIV/AIDS Bureau in the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), and the Office of AIDS Research in the Office of the Director of the National Institutes of Health (OAR/NIH).

Denominator

Patients diagnosed with HIV with CD4 counts < 200 cells/mm.

Numerator

Subset of denominator who received PCP prophylactic therapy.

Comments

The taxonomy of the PCP organism has been changed; Pneumocystis jiroveci refers to the distinct species that infects humans. The abbreviation PCP is still used to designate Pneumocystis pneumonia.
