Research linking depression to mortality among people living with human immunodeficiency virus (PLWH) has largely focused on binary “always vs never” characterizations of depression. However, depression is chronic and is likely to have cumulative effects on mortality over time. Quantifying depression as a cumulative exposure may provide a better indication of the clinical benefit of enhanced depression treatment protocols delivered in HIV care settings.

感染人类免疫缺陷病毒的女性的抑郁症和全因死亡率的累积负担

将抑郁症与人类免疫缺陷病毒（PLWH）感染者的死亡率联系起来的研究主要集中在抑郁症“总是与从不”的二元特征上。然而，抑郁症是慢性的，并且可能随着时间的推移对死亡率产生累积影响。将抑郁症量化为累积暴露可能可以更好地表明在艾滋病毒护理机构中提供的强化抑郁症治疗方案的临床益处。
