Short Assessment for People with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) Aged 50 Years or Older: Essential Tests from Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment
<b>Background:</b> Comprehensive geriatric assessments (CGAs) are necessary to address the needs of people with human immunodeficiency virus infection (PWH) aged ≥ 50 years and ensure that they receive high-quality care. We aimed to identify the most effective tests from an extensive CGA...

| description | <b>Background:</b> Comprehensive geriatric assessments (CGAs) are necessary to address the needs of people with human immunodeficiency virus infection (PWH) aged ≥ 50 years and ensure that they receive high-quality care. We aimed to identify the most effective tests from an extensive CGA to develop a short CGA. <b>Methods:</b> This observational, cross-sectional, and analytical study was conducted in three phases: (1) describing PWH aged ≥ 50 and matched controls; (2) jointly analyzing data to identify the most effective tests from the original CGA and develop a short version; and (3) applying the short CGA separately to both groups. <b>Results:</b> The most effective tests—the Lawton scale, SPPB, Barber questionnaire, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, and Cognitive Complaints questionnaire—were used to create a short CGA. It identified abnormalities in 77% of PWH flagged by the full CGA, though 65% with the normal short CGA results had at least one abnormal result in the full version. Most false negatives were due to the excluded Hearing-Dependent Activities scale. <b>Conclusions:</b> These findings represent an initial step toward developing a short CGA for an easy and rapid identification of PWH aged ≥ 50, beyond a frailty assessment, who may benefit from early clinical management. |
