Baseline, time-updated, and cumulative HIV care metrics for predicting acute myocardial infarction and all-cause mortality.
The researchers studied prediction rates of myocardial infarction in those with HIV. They found that the Veterans Aging Cohort Study (VACS) Index provided better acute myocardial infarction and mortality prediction than CD4 count and HIV-1 RNA, concluding that current health determines risk more accurately than prior history.

Thirty-day postoperative mortality among individuals with HIV infection receiving antiretroviral therapy and procedure-matched, uninfected comparators.
The researchers explored the current relationship between perioperative mortality and indicators of immune function, anemia, and hypoalbuminemia among HIV-infected and uninfected individuals. Among HIV-infected patients receiving antiretroviral therapy, modern postoperative mortality rates are low and lower CD4 cell counts are associated with increased mortality, but characteristics other than HIV status, such as age and hypoalbuminemia, are also important determinants of outcome.
