This cross-sectional study identifies the factors associated with deaths of hospitalized adults with AIDS. Secondary data were collected from the hospital records of 263 adults diagnosed with AIDS in Fortaleza, Ceará, Brazil. Sociodemographic and clinical variables were considered predictors and death the outcome variable. The absolute and relative frequencies of each variable were expressed and Fisher’s exact or Pearson’s chi-square tests were applied. Factors significantly related to the risk of death among adults were: having incomplete primary education (p = 0.001, OR = 1.85; CI = 1.02-3.37), being off work (p = 0.039, OR = 1.59; CI = 0.81-3.23), having kidney disease (92%; OR = 3.05; CI = 1.49-6.59), syphilis (85%; OR = 3.05; CI = 1.49-6.58), herpes simplex (95%; OR = 3.98; CI = 1.16-19.01), histoplasmosis (82%; OR = 0.22; IC = 0.09-0.46), last LTCD4 count < 200 (p = 0.002; OR = 3.35; IC = 1.37-9.20), complaints of dyspnea and fever on hospital admission (p < 0.001; OR = 0.74; IC = 0.20-2.67), length of stay up to seven days (p < 0.001; OR = 0.12; IC = 0.03-0.33), first hospital admission (p = 0.002; OR = 2.15; IC = 1.31-3.55), over 3 hospital admissions (p = 0.003; OR = 3.09; IC = 1.43-6.88), ICU  admission (p < 0.001; OR = 0.12; IC = 0.04-0.28), having performed hemodialysis (p < 0.001; OR = 0.09; IC = 0.02-0.24), mechanical ventilation (p < 0.001; OR = 0.06; IC = 0.02-0.14), and receiving hemocomponents and/or hemoderivatives (p < 0.001; OR = 0.18; IC = 0.10-0.32). In conclusion, deaths of adults with AIDS occurred mostly among those with vulnerable sociodemographic conditions and with considerable incidence of opportunistic diseases, demanding intensive care.
