Distribution and performance of cardiovascular risk scores in a mixed population of HIV-infected and community-based HIV-uninfected individuals in Uganda

Journal of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndromes Jul 12, 2018

Muiru AN, et al. - Among HIV-infected and uninfected people in Uganda, researchers assess cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk scores with carotid intima media thickness (c-IMT). Calculation of CVD risk was performed using the Framingham laboratory–based score, Framingham nonlaboratory score (FRS-BMI), Reynolds risk score, American College of Cardiology and American Heart Association score, and the Data collection on Adverse Effects of Anti-HIV Drugs score. Findings suggested a good correlation of the FRS-BMI with standard risk scores and c-IMT. Compared to HIV-infected individuals, HIV-uninfected individuals displayed higher risk scores, and modifiable factors seemed to drive that difference.
