Аннотация
BACKGROUND: Clinicians caring for HIV-infected patients >60 years old encounter multiple clinical challenges. The use of a functional geriatrics screening for detection of significant comorbidities is important in this population.
METHODS: The geriatrics screening evaluated functional capabilities, depression, cognitive dysfunction, nutrition, mobility, medicines used, and interactions.
RESULTS: As of July 2009, 57 patients were screened (average age 62.6, 39 males and 18 females). A total of 17 patients (9 males and 8 females) were referred to the geriatrics/HIV program because of identified problems in multiple domains: 10 with cognitive dysfunction, 8 with problems in basic or instrumental activities of daily living, 6 with nutritional issues, 5 with depression, 5 with mobility problems, 4 with visual issues, and 2 with hearing difficulties. The average age was 62.9. Median CD4 count and viral load were 285 (15-714) cells/mm(3) and 30 505 copies/mL (0-407 697), respectively.
CONCLUSIONS: The functional yearly screening of patients >60 years with HIV needs to be part of regular care of patients infected with HIV as multiple functional problems can be diagnosed and addressed.
