Introduction: There is a growing number of people with HIV who are aged 50 years or older, and the prevalence of loneliness and social isolation remains unknown.
Methods: A multicentre study was conducted across 22 GeSIDA centres. A survey was carried out to assess loneliness [UCLA 3-item Loneliness Scale-3 (UCLA-3)] and social isolation [Lubben Social Network Scale-Revised (LSNS-R)], along with sociodemographic aspects, HIV-related factors, comorbidities, tobacco, alcohol and drug consumption, quality of life, anxiety and depression, and stigma.

Article Synopsis
- * Conducted from August to October 2020, the research involved 359 patients, revealing a 90-day mortality rate of 8.9%, with MR-proADM showing strong predictive ability (ROC AUC of 0.832).
- * MR-proADM levels at an optimal cutoff of 0.80 nmol/L demonstrated high sensitivity and negative predictive value, suggesting it can effectively help physicians assess the risk of 90-day mortality in COVID-19 patients.
