ABSTRACT: Importance
Commonly used risk assessment tools for cardiovascular disease might not be accurate for HIV-infected patients.Objective
We aimed to develop a model to accurately predict the 10-year cardiovascular disease (CV) risk of HIV-infected patients.Design
In this retrospective cohort study, adult HIV-infected patients seen at Boston Medical Center between March 2012 and January 2017 were divided into model development and validation cohorts.Setting
Boston Medical Center, a tertiary, academic medical center.Participants
Adult HIV-infected patients, seen in inpatient and outpatient setting.Main outcomes and measures
We used logistic regression to create a prediction risk model for cardiovascular events using data from the development cohort. Using a point-based risk-scoring system, we summarized the relationship between risk factors and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. We then used the area under the receiver operating characteristics curve (AUC) to evaluate model discrimination. Finally, we tested the model using a validation cohort.Results
1914 individuals met the inclusion criteria. The model had excellent discrimination for CVD risk [AUC 0.989; (95% CI: 0.986-0.993)] and included the following 11 variables: male sex (95% CI: 2.53-3.99), African American race/ethnicity (95% CI: 1.50-3.13), current age (95% CI: 0.07-0.13), age at HIV diagnosis (95% CI: -0.10-(-0.02)), peak HIV viral load (95% CI: 9.89 × 10-7-3.00 × 10-6), nadir CD4 lymphocyte count (95% CI: -0.03-(-0.02)), hypertension (95% CI: 0.20-1.54), hyperlipidemia (95% CI: 3.03-4.60), diabetes (95% CI: 0.61-1.89), chronic kidney disease (95% CI: 1.26-2.62), and smoking (95% CI: 0.12-2.39). The eleven-parameter multiple logistic regression model had excellent discrimination [AUC 0.957; (95% CI: 0.938-0.975)] when applied to the validation cohort.Conclusions and relevance
Our novel HIV-CARDIO-PREDICT Score may provide a rapid and accurate evaluation of CV disease risk among HIV-infected patients and inform prevention measures.
