A University of Arkansas researcher and her colleagues have found that secondary conditions and diseases that could become deadly significantly affect how long HIV patients stay in the hospital.
The study, which includes the charged expenses to those patients, will help hospitals and health-care providers understand the complex nature of HIV and develop new strategies for managing care for them.
"Our study will help physicians and policymakers better identify specific patient groups who may be at greater risk for HIV infection and help hospitals better plan resources," said Shengfan Zhang, assistant professor of industrial engineering.
