HIV-Associated Neurocognitive Disorders (HAND)


 

Frascati Criteria

HIV-associated asymptomatic neurocognitive impairment (ANI)
diagnostic criteria
(simplified)

Cognitive impairment must be attributable to HIV and no other etiology, i.e:
  • Dementia
  • Delirium
  • Depression
  • CNS neoplasm
  • CNS infection
  • Cerebrovascular disease
  • Substance abuse
  • etc.
Impairment involves at least two cognitive domains and result in neuropsychological testing performance at least 1 SD below the appropriate mean age/education norm.
  • Information processing speed
  • Sensory/motor skills
  • Short-term and long-term memory
  • Ability to learn new skills and solve problems
  • Attention, concentration, and distractibility
  • Logical and abstract reasoning functions
  • Ability to understand and express language
  • Visual-spatial organization Visual-motor coordination
  • Planning, synthesizing and organizing abilities
 
Mild Cognitive Disorder (MCD) diagnostic criteria (modified for elucidation)
Cognitive impairment must be attributable to HIV and no other etiology, i.e:
  • Dementia
  • Delirium
  • Depression
  • CNS neoplasm
  • CNS infection
  • Cerebrovascular disease
  • Substance abuse
  • etc.
Impairment involves at least two cognitive domains and result in neuropsychological testing performance at least 1 SD below the appropriate mean age/education norm.
  • Information processing speed
  • Sensory/motor skills
  • Short-term and long-term memory
  • Ability to learn new skills and solve problems
  • Attention, concentration, and distractibility
  • Logical and abstract reasoning functions
  • Ability to understand and express language
  • Visual-spatial organization Visual-motor coordination
  • Planning, synthesizing and organizing abilities
Patient or caregivers report that cognitive deficit interferes with:
  • Metal acuity, work efficiency, home making or social activity
 
HIV-associated dementia (HAD) diagnostic criteria (modified for elucidation)
Cognitive impairment must be attributable to HIV and no other etiology, i.e:
  • Delirium
  • Depression
  • CNS neoplasm
  • CNS infection
  • Cerebrovascular disease
  • Substance abuse
  • etc.
Impairment involves at least two cognitive domains and result in neuropsychological testing at least 2 SD below the appropriate mean age/education norm.
  • Information processing speed
  • Short-term and long-term memory
  • Ability to learn new skills and solve problems
  • Attention, concentration, and distractibility
  • Logical and abstract reasoning functions
  • Ability to understand and express language
  • Visual-spatial organization Visual-motor coordination
  • Planning, synthesizing and organizing abilities
Cognitive impairment significantly interferes with:
  • work
  • home life
  • social activities
  • ADL's
Cognitive impairment should be validated by neuropsychological testing, i.e.:
  • Mini-mental state examination (MMSE)
  • Memorial Sloan-Kettering (MSK) scale
  • HIV dementia Scale (HDS)
