Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1A) the screeningsprotocol 1B) the prevalence and incidence of co-morbidity and organ system dysfunction in the setting of HIV infection and the comparison with the prevalence of comorbidity in a comparable group of HIV-uninfected healthy individuals. 1C) the difference in quality of life both at baseline and over time, between patients with and without co-morbidity, who are HIV-infected or HIV-uninfected. 2A) Correlation between cognitive test performance scores and neuroimaging parameters e.g. DTI (mean diffusivity, fractional diffusivity), MRS (concentrations of glutamate, N-acetylaspartate, choline and myo-inositol) and ASL (cerebral blood perfusion) in HIV-infected persons with sustained suppression of HIV-infection on cART compared to HIV-negative controls. 2B) Correlation between cerebrospinal fluid/blood markers (virological-, host response- and CNS tissue damage markers) and neuroimaging parameters of cognitive impairment in HIV-infected persons with sustained suppression of HIV-infection on cART compared to HIV-negative controls. 2C) Correlation between markers of retinal abnormalities as measured by optical coherence tomography and neuroimaging parameters of cognitive impairment and cerebrospinal markers in HIV-infected persons with sustained suppression of HIV-infection on cART compared to HIV-negative controls. 2D) The predictive value of each assessed neuroimaging parameter of subtle brain changes or a combination of such parameters, for cognitive impairment in older HIV-1-infected persons with sustained viral suppression on cART. | — |

| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1) N/A 2A) Prevalence and incidence of cognitive impairment in older HIV-1-infected persons with sustained viral suppression on combined antiretroviral therapy (cART) compared to HIV-negative controls. 2B) How demographic characteristics (e.g. age, gender, ethnicity), behavioural factors (e.g. alcohol and drug abuse), psychological factors (major depression, anxiety disorders) and co-morbidities (e.g. hypertension, diabetes mellitus-type II, dyslipidemia, chronic viral hepatitis) are related to HAND/neurocognitive disorders and retinal abnormalities found in HIV-infected- and HIV-negative elderly. | — |
