Short communication: The Veterans Aging Cohort Study Index is an effective tool to assess baseline frailty status in a contemporary cohort of HIV-infected persons.
The Veterans Aging Cohort Study (VACS) Index has previously been used to identify frail HIV-infected persons. However, data demonstrating the independent association between the VACS Index and baseline frailty status is lacking. Furthermore, the ability of the VACS Index to also reflect transitions in frailty status over time is unknown. We used data from the Study to Understand the Natural His...
متن کاملPredicting death over 8 years in a prospective cohort of HIV-infected women: the Women’s Interagency HIV Study
OBJECTIVES Predicting mortality in middle-aged HIV-infected (HIV+) women on antiretroviral therapies (ART) is important for understanding the impact of HIV infection. Several health indices have been used to predict mortality in women with HIV infection. We evaluated: (1) an HIV biological index, Veterans Aging Cohort Study (VACS); (2) a physical index, Fried Frailty Index (FFI); and (3) a ment...
متن کاملAn internationally generalizable risk index for mortality after one year of antiretroviral therapy.
OBJECTIVE Despite the success of antiretroviral therapy (ART), excess mortality continues for those with HIV infection. A comprehensive approach to risk assessment, addressing multiorgan system injury on ART, is needed. We sought to develop and validate a practical and generalizable mortality risk index for HIV-infected individuals on ART. DESIGN AND METHODS The Veterans Aging Cohort Study (V...
متن کاملDoes an index composed of clinical data reflect effects of inflammation, coagulation, and monocyte activation on mortality among those aging with HIV?
BACKGROUND When added to age, CD4 count and human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) RNA alone (Restricted Index), hemoglobin, FIB-4 Index, hepatitis C virus (HCV), and estimated glomerular filtration rate improve prediction of mortality. Weighted and combined, these 7 routine clinical variables constitute the Veterans Aging Cohort Study (VACS) Index. Because nonroutine biomarkers of inflamm...
متن کاملPhysiologic frailty and fragility fracture in HIV-infected male veterans.
BACKGROUND The Veterans Aging Cohort Study (VACS) Index is associated with all-cause mortality in individuals infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). It is also associated with markers of inflammation and may thus reflect physiologic frailty. This analysis explores the association between physiologic frailty, as assessed by the VACS Index, and fragility fracture. METHODS HIV-infecte...
