Modeled Health and Economic Burden of Frailty and Falls Among Adults With HIV.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

People with HIV experience higher rates of frailty and falls than age-matched people without HIV.

Objective

To estimate the life-years lost, quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs) lost, and costs attributable to prefrailty, frailty, and falls among people with HIV and viral suppression in the United States.

Design, setting, and participants

This decision analytic modeling study used the Frailty Policy Model, a microsimulation model, to project lifetime health and cost outcomes associated with frailty and falls among people with HIV in the United States. The model simulated individuals representing people with HIV and viral suppression in the United States aged 40 years and older in 2022, and results were scaled to the estimated population size of 521 994 indiv
