AB To examine the relationship between health insurance status and health
services utilization among HIV-infected patients with active
Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP), the discharge and outpatient
databases of a large California medical facility were reviewed. Four
hundred fifty records met the inclusion criteria. Logistic regression
indicated that those who had publicly funded insurance were about half
as likely (95% CI 0.28, 0.99) as were those who had private insurance to
undergo bronchoscopy with bronchoalveolar lavage at the time of their
first PCP episodes. Further research is required to identify the reasons
for this difference.
