Abstract:
Objective：To investigate the neurocognition and function of social life among human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) positive subjects infected by plasma donation.Methods:Totally 203 HIV positive subjects infected by plasma donation were recruited.Neuropsychological (NP) battery tests including executive function,verbal fluency,learning,memory,fine motor skill,speed of information processing and working memory domains were performanced among these subjects,as well as the Activity of Daily Living Scale (ADLs).And 198 HIV negative plasma donors were matched in gender,age and years of schooling.The cut-off of Global Deficit Score (GDS) was 0.5.Results：The HIV positive subjects performanced worse in global cognitive function [(45.7±5.9 vs.(49.4±6.0),P<0.01]and 7 cognitive domains than those of HIV negative subjects.HIV and HCV infection interacted on aspect of fine motor skill (F=5.28,P<0.05).The impairment rate of the subjects in asymptomatic stage and AIDS were 29.2% and 43.0% respectively.The HIV positive subjects showed more decline of ADLs scores than that of HIV negative subjects [(0.49±1.32) vs.(0.14±0.75),P<0.01].Working months,individual and family's income of HIV positive subjects were also less than that of HIV negative subjects(P<0.01).The lowest CD4 count in NP-impaired group was lower than that in non-impaired group [(214.3±144.0) vs.(274.8±161.1),P=0.01].Subjects with NP impairment reported more decline of ADLs scores [(0.75±1.58) vs.(0.34±1.13),P<0.01] than those without NP impairment.The global cognitive function scores were correlated with decline of ADLs scores (r=-0.22,P<0.01).Conclusion：HIV positive subjects are impairment on aspect of 7 cognitive domains,and co-infection of HCV can lead to more fine motor skill impairment.The more progression of disease,the higher NP impairment ratio.HIV infected subjects show decline of ADL,poorer occupational function and economical status.The lowest CD4 count may be a predictor to NP impairment.NP impairment is a factor which influenced the activity of daily living and the income of individual and family.
