Conclusions: In our study population of HIV-infected veterans, application of the new ACC/AHA cholesterol guidelines resulted in an approximate 12% absolute increase in the proportion of patients for whom statin therapy is indicated. The increased recommended use of statins is primarily related to risk assessed by the 10-year risk score of cardiovascular disease. It will be important to assess the benefit of this expanded prevention measure prospectively. 751 Evaluation of the ACC/AHA CVD Risk Prediction Algorithm Among HIV-Infected Patients Susan Regan 2 ; James B.

Methods: Framingham Risk Scores (FRS) and ACC/AHA risk scores were calculated for patients in a longitudinal HIV clinical care cohort during a 3-year interval ending January 1, 2009. Patients were not eligible if they were under age 18, had expired prior to January 1, 2009, were missing relevant data to populate the risk score, or had undergone a relevant outcome event prior to the date of risk score calculation. CVD risk was considered high if 10-year predicted risk of the relevant outcome event was ≥ 10 percent for FRS and ≥ 7.5 percent for ACC/AHA. Outcome events were coronary heart disease (CHD) for FRS and atherosclerotic CVD (ASCVD) for ACC/AHA. Results: The FRS was calculated for 2270 patients, with a median follow-up time of 6.3 years, and the ACC/AHA risk score was calculated for 2152 patients, with a median follow- up time of 6.2 years. Risk scores were discordant in 17 percent of patients, with the ACC/AHA score only predicting high risk in 10 percent and the FRS only predicting high risk in 7 percent. In comparisons of these discordant subgroups, patients classified as high-risk by ACC/AHA but low-risk by FRS were older (median age 56 for ACC/AHA high vs. 48 for FRS high) and more likely to be female (68% vs. 0%), diabetic (52% vs. 6%) and black (22% vs. 12%) but less likely to be smokers (44% vs. 66%) than those low-risk by ACC/AHA and high-risk by FRS. Actual event rates were estimated and compared with predicted rates. As shown in the figure, actual 6-year event rates were similar to 10-year predicted rates for the FRS and were similar to or exceeded predicted rates for the ACC/AHA risk score.

Oral Abstracts

Conclusions: Our findings suggest that CVD risk prediction scores designed for the general population, and particularly the new ACC/AHA risk score, may underestimate risk for HIV-infected patients. Accurate CVD risk prediction is an important component of the long-termmanagement of chronic disease complications in HIV.
