Abstract Background People living with HIV (PWH) experience geriatric syndromes commonly found in much older populations and may benefit from geriatrician consultation. We aim to describe a referral-based model at the University of Colorado. Methods The Positive Aging Consultations, model, sought connect high-risk PWH ≥ 50 years old care. High-risk patients (experiencing syndromes, polypharmacy, multimorbidity, or advance care planning needs) were referred for consultation UCHealth Seniors...
Abstract Background HIV guidelines recommend bone mineral density (BMD) screening by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) for all postmenopausal women and men ≥50 years. Uptake of these recommendations has been low. This study describes DXA practices among people with (PWH) at highest risk low BMD. Methods We conducted a retrospective chart review PWH aged ≥65 or older who were seen care the University Colorado within last year. First available most recent scans collected; FRAX score was...

Few studies present clinical management approaches and outcomes of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreaks in skilled nursing facilities (SNFs). We describe a pathway for large COVID-19 outbreak an urban SNF with predominantly racial minority (>90% black), medically complex, older residents.
An outbreak of SARS-CoV-2 in a skilled nursing facility (SNF) can be devastating for residents and staff. Difficulty identifying asymptomatic presymptomatic cases lack vaccination or treatment options make management challenging. We created, implemented, now present guide to rapidly deploy point-prevalence testing 3-tiered cohorting an SNF mitigate outbreak. outline key challenges cohorting.
Post-acute and long-term care facilities, known as skilled nursing facilities (SNFs), are high risk for severe COVID-19 outbreaks, have potential presymptomatic/asymptomatic transmission, may poor outcomes due to severity of disease in older adults.1, 2 Facilities must keep up-to-date with information adapt rapidly changing practices. The Project Extension Community Healthcare Outcomes (ECHO) model has been used extensively urban rural settings provide telementoring healthcare workers a...
To describe latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) testing practices in long-term care facilities (LTCFs).Retrospective cohort study.Three Boston-area LTCFs.Residents admitted between January 1 and December 31, 2011.Resident demographic characteristics, comorbidities, LTCF stay, LTBI treatment.Data for 291 residents 2011 were reviewed. Of the 257 without a history of with documentation testing, 162 (63%) tested; 114 186 (61%) stay less than 90 days 48 71 (68%) or longer tested. 196 data on...
Choline kinase catalyzes the conversion of choline to phosphocholine (PC) by transferring a phosphate group from adenosine triphosphate (ATP) as first step in biosynthetic pathway for membrane phospholipid phosphatidylcholine, an essential Leishmania parasitic protozoan. Commonly used methods kinetically quantifying enzyme include radioisotope assay utilizing labeled and coupled spectrophotometric with multiple enzymes substrates that indirectly measures activity. When testing potential...
With early and effective antiretroviral therapy leading to improved life expectancy in people with HIV (PWH), PWH aged 50 or older face concerns issues related aging. Providers at the University of Colorado identified a need assess healthcare needs UCHealth Infectious Diseases/Travel (TEAM) Clinic Aurora, Colorado. A survey was developed illuminate participants' general rating their health, factors that made it challenging get needed prior COVID-19 during COVID-19, types appointments...
Electronic patient portals represent a promising means of integrating mental health assessments into HIV care where anxiety and depression are highly prevalent. Patient attitudes toward portal-based screening within clinics have not been well described. The aim this formative qualitative study is to characterize the patient-perceived facilitators barriers in order inform implementation strategies for screening. Twelve adult clinic patients participated semi-structured interviews that were...
