The 6 month survival rate of AIDS patients with effusion was significantly shorter (36%) than the survival rate without effusions (93%).

| :*Asymptomatic effusions are mostly small and '''idiopathic'''.

| '''Supportive trial data:'''
| |
| *The incidence of [[pericardial effusion]] in patients with asymptomatic AIDS was 11% per year before the introduction of effective [[highly active antiretroviral therapy]] (HAART). The 6 month survival rate of AIDS patients with effusion was significantly shorter (36%) than the survival rate without effusions (93%). This shortened survival rate remained statistically significant after adjustment for lead-time bias and was independent of [[CD4 count]] and albumin level<ref name="pmid7586308">{{cite journal| author=Heidenreich PA, Eisenberg MJ, Kee LL, Somelofski CA, Hollander H, Schiller NB et al.| title=Pericardial effusion in AIDS.
