Abstract

This bibliographic review aimed to analyze the abstracts of scientific articles on HIV/AIDS patients' quality of life, which were registered in the National Library of Medicine (MEDLINE) database between 1990 and 2002. The sample consisted of 124 abstracts, which were analyzed for publication frequency, country where the study was carried out, study outlines, sample size, number of publications, kind of life quality measuring instrument used and periodical in which the study was published. We concluded that, in spite of a considerable increase in the number of publications on this subject in the United States and European countries, in Brazil, few scientific articles have been written about it.

RLAE’s authorship concept is based on the substantial contribution by each of the individuals listed as authors, mainly in terms of conceiving and planning the research project, collecting or analyzing and interpreting data, writing and critical review. Indication of authors’ names under the article title is limited to six. If more, authors are listed on the online submission form under Acknowledgements. The possibility of including more than six authors will only be examined on multicenter studies, considering the explanations presented by the authors.
Including names of authors whose contribution does not fit into the above criteria cannot be justified. Those names can be included in the Acknowledgements section.
 Authors are fully responsible for the concepts disseminated in their manuscripts, which do not necessarily reflect the editors’ and editorial board’s opinion.
