High correlation between Framingham equations with BMI and with lipids to estimate cardiovascular risks score at baseline in HIV-infected adults in the Temprano trial, ANRS 12136 in Côte d'Ivoire.

CONTEXT:Data on cardiovascular risk (CVR) score among HIV-infected patients in sub-Saharan Africa are scarce. Our first objective was to compare the CVR score of Framingham utilizing BMI and lipids at baseline, and secondary to assess evolution of CVR score over time at Month 30 in the Temprano trial. METHODS:HIV-infected adults with CD4 20%), moderate (10-20%), and low risk (5mmol/L, and 1% diabetes at baseline. At baseline the concordance between the two Framingham equations was excellent (r = 0.95; p
