Abstract

Cognitive and functional outcomes are of primary interest in the design of efficacy trials in HIV-associated cognitive impairment. In a longitudinal cohort study, weak associations were found between measures of cognitive performance and commonly used measures of daily functioning (mostly self-report measures) in HIV-infected individuals. Modifications of current functional scales or new functional instruments are needed to assess the clinical relevance of cognitive changes in clinical trials of HIV-associated cognitive impairment.
