Study design and population
We performed a cross-sectional study based on a systematic review of the
most recent electronic prescriptions confirmed by interviewing all
patients aged ≥65 years belonging to an HIV-infected cohort (Over50
cohort). The Over50 cohort is an ongoing prospective cohort of
chronically HIV-infected people aged ≥50 years consecutively attended in
our unit. All patients receive a comprehensive geriatric assessment
covering medical, psychological, functional, and social aspects. Written
informed consent was obtained from all participants before inclusion.
The trial protocol was reviewed and approved by the clinical research
ethics committee of the Germans Trias i Pujol Hospital
(http://www.ceicgermanstrias.cat/) and met the criteria of the
Declaration of Helsinki and the requirements of Good Clinical Practice
(REF. CEI: PI-16-068).
