The preliminary hospitalization of AIDS patients entails a mean length of stay of 31 days. Rehospitalization for new or recurrent opportunistic infections is frequent.
A New York City study found that 14% of AIDS patients died in the coursework of the preliminary hospitalization, 35% spent less than 30% of the time in the hospital after the preliminary hospitalization, 16% spent between 30%-50% of the time hospitalized & the remaining 35% spent over 50% of the time in the hospital.
It is estimated that the first ten,000 patients with AIDS will spend a total of one,677,900 days in the hospital.
A Michigan study reported that AIDS patients had an average of 6.4 hospitalizations at an average length of stay of 14 days over an 18-month average lifespan
