Health-Related Quality of Life in People Living With HIV With Cognitive Symptoms: Assessing Relevant Domains and Associations.

This study aimed to validate and assess a comprehensive set of illness-specific health-related quality of life (HRQL) domains in people living with HIV (PLWH) with cognitive symptoms. One hundred and three HIV patients with cognitive symptoms ( = 93 male, 90.3%) were identified from two UK HIV clinics and complete a series of validated scales measuring seven HRQL domains identified as important to HRQL by PLWH with cognitive impairment.

Frailty and frailty screening: A qualitative study to elicit perspectives of people living with HIV and their healthcare professionals.

Objectives: People living with HIV are an ageing population with an increasing prevalence of frailty. Management of frailty requires assessment, communication and information sharing with patients. However, evidence regarding the meaning of frailty for this population, and the acceptability of frailty screening, is limited.

"A fog that impacts everything": a qualitative study of health-related quality of life in people living with HIV who have cognitive impairment.

Background: Cognitive impairment (CI) in people living with HIV (PLWH) is an important health concern in the context of an ageing HIV population. Impacting 14-28% of PLWH, CI is associated with lower health-related quality of life (HRQoL), however, evaluation of the illness-specific factors comprising HRQoL in PLWH with CI have not been assessed.

Objective: We sought to contribute evidence toward an understanding of HRQoL and identify domains of HRQoL in PLWH with CI.
