What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. The number of past situations for the last 5 years before the implementation of the study - of elderly people living with HIV in Retirement Home (EHPAD), home nursing care departments (SSIAD) and extended care units (USLD) in Île-de-France.

    Measured: 2 years

  2. The number of current situations for the last 5 years before the implementation of the study - of elderly people living with HIV in Retirement Home (EHPAD), home nursing care departments (SSIAD) and extended care units (USLD) in Île-de-France.

    Measured: 2 years

Secondary outcomes (10)
  1. Assessment of the degree of patient dependence according "Index of Independence in Activities of Daily Living" KATZ scale

    This is a measurement of the subject's ability to perform activities of daily living independently. The Index ranks adequacy of performance in the six functions of bathing, dressing, toileting, transferring, continence, and feeding. A high score (6) indicates full function (patient independent). 2 or less score, indicates severe functional impairment.(patient very dependent)

    Measured: 2 years

  2. Assessment of patient's level of dependence through an appreciation of instrumental activities of daily living according Lawton scale

    The measure is calculated by summing the point values for each question. The maximum score of 8 indicates that all activities can be performed independently. A minimum score of 0 indicates that the measured activites of daily living can only be performed partially or not at all.

    Measured: 2 years

  3. Assessment of depression according MINI Geriatric depression scale (Mini-GDS)

    If the score is greater than or equal to 1: high probability of depression. If the score is 0: high probability of no depression.
