Publication Abstract Display | Type: Published Manuscript | Title: The burden of HIV-associated neurocognitive disorder (HAND) in the Asia-Pacific region and recommendations for screening. | Authors: Everall I, Lai GC, Ting SC, Corr M, Huang C, Kim E, Kim H, Khan A, Letendre S, Patrick CL, Thanomsak A, Glenn JT, Wei H, Wong W | Year: 2016 | Publication: Asian Journal of Psychiatry | Volume: Aug Issue: 22 Pages: 182-189 | Abstract:HIV-associated neurocognitive disorder incurs a significant burden on HIV patients in Asia-Pacific countries; however, the incidence is difficult to estimate due to a lack of local epidemiological data. The impact of neurocognitive impairment in HIV patients is often underestimated due to a lack of education and awareness, and there are consequently gaps in the provision of screening and diagnosis to enable earlier intervention to limit neurocognitive impairment. |
