Multivariate hazard models of HDS subtests predicting mortality, adjusted for covariates
Variable | Hazard Ratio | 95% CI | p-value |
---|---|---|---|
HDS Total | 0.93 | 0.84 - 1.03 | .17 |
Antisaccade task | 0.72 | 0.58 - 0.90 | .003 |
Psychomotor speed | 1.05 | 0.90 - 1.23 | .52 |
Memory | 1.00 | 0.68 - 1.49 | .99 |
Construction | 0.80 | 0.60 - 1.07 | .14 |
Notes. Covariates: age, African American race, gender, education, CD4 cell counts, viral load, antiretroviral medication status. HIV-Dementia Scale (HDS) total score and all subtest scores were treated as continuous. Lower scores indicate worse performance. CI = confidence interval.
