| Résumé : | [BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS bR0xqtI2. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Objectives. A population-based Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP) Index was developed in New York City to identify geographic areas and subpopulations at increased risk for PCP. Methods. A zip code-level PCP Index was created from AIDS surveillance and hospital discharge records and defined as (number of PCP-related hospitalizations)/ (number of persons living with AIDS). Results. In 1997, there were 2262 hospitalizations for PCP among 39 740 persons living with AIDS in New York City (PCP Index=05691). PCP Index values varied widely across neighborhoods with high AIDS prevalence (West Village=02532 vs Central Harlem=08696). Some neighborhoods with moderate AIDS prevalence had strikingly high rates (Staten Island=14035 northern Manhattan=08756). Conclusions. The PCP Index highlights communities in particular need of public health interventions to improve HIV-related service delivery. |
