A Sub-study of PREDICT Neurodevelopment Protocol

Completed
Conditions
Neurocognitive Development
Registration Number
NCT02406768
Lead Sponsor
The HIV Netherlands Australia Thailand Research Collaboration
Brief Summary

To determine the neurodevelopment (ND) in normal children in Thailand and Cambodia and to use this group to compare the neurodevelopmental changes over time to the HIV-infected children with and without HAART (main study).

Detailed Description

Normative data are mostly, if not exclusively, obtained from children in the Western world. Comparing data from Asian children to these norms may lead to the wrong interpretation of the results, as it does not account for cultural differences, translation issues and a possibly different education system. Therefore it is essential to include a matched control group to evaluate the participants of the study to the fullest extent in terms of cognition, memory, behavior and fine motor skills, in all age groups over the full course of the study.
