Prediction of Cardiovascular Risk Among People with HIV Using the PREVENT Equations Compared to the Pooled Cohort Equations.

ABSTRACT:

Background

People with HIV (PWH) are at elevated risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), and current risk prediction tools underestimate risk among PWH. The American Heart Association developed new risk prediction equations, Predicting Risk of cardiovascular disease EVENTs (PREVENT), which have not been studied among PWH.

Objective

To compare predicted 10-year ASCVD risk using PREVENT with the pooled cohort equations (PCE) and the implications for statin recommendations among PWH.

Design

A cross-sectional observational study using real-world, electronic health records PARTICIPANTS: All people with HIV ages 40 to 75 without cardiovascular disease at 23 primary care and HIV clinics affiliated with two health systems in San Francisco, California from 2019
