Objectives: To analyse the effect of educational level on the progression from HIV seroconversion to highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) requirement, HAART initiation, AIDS and death from any cause at different periods of the HIV epidemic in Spain.
Methods: Open, prospective, multicentre cohort of HIV seroconverters set up in 1983. The risk of progression was calculated by the multiple decrements method.
Objective: To study socioeconomic inequalities in AIDS mortality in Barcelona, Spain, during the periods 1991-6 (before highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART)) and 1997-2001 (post-HAART) taking into account individual as well as community effects of socioeconomic level.
Design: Cross-sectional design.
Setting: Barcelona, Spain.
The objective of this study is to determine whether the excess of mortality which occurred in Barcelona during the summer of 2003 was dependent on age, gender and educational level. We included all deaths among Barcelona residents 20 years of age and older that occurred in the city during the months of June, July and August of 2003 and also during the same months of the five preceding years. Poisson regression models were fitted to obtain the risk of death in 2003 with respect to the period 1998-2002.
