简要总结
BRAVO proposes the establishment of a comprehensive registry of chronic noncommunicable diseases (NCDs), providing crucial data for the formulation of effective health policies for people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA). BRAVO is a cross-sectional study, that will collect on the study allocation sociodemographic data, risk factors related to the main NCDs, physical examination data and samples for determination of biochemical and metabolic parameters. To this end, the study will include co-participating research centers from the 5 Brazilian geographic macro-regions.
详细描述
The BRAVO is a multicenter observational study. It includes a cross-sectional baseline assessment to evaluate cardiometabolic health, mental health, and quality of life among people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA).
Adults (≥18 years) with a confirmed HIV/AIDS diagnosis from across Brazil will be recruited in 2025 and 2026. Participation requires informed consent. The study captures data on risk factors, diseases, anthropometrics, and biological samples, ART adherence, mental health status, and quality of life (WHOQOL-BREF).
Data are collected using REDCap©, covering: i) Demographics and socioeconomic indicators; ii) Clinical and lab tests (cholesterol, HbA1c, triglycerides); iii) Physical measures (BMI, blood pressure, waist-hip ratio); iv) Respiratory (spirometry), renal, hepatic, and bone assessments (DXA); v) STIs, cancer risk, and CIMT (carotid ultrasound); vi) ART adherence (Morisky-Green), viral load, CD4/CD8 counts; vii) Mental health (depression, anxiety, substance use); and viii) Quality of life via WHOQOL-BREF.
Both validated and project-developed instruments will assess risk factors and outcomes. While validated tools improve reliability, the use of unvalidated questionnaires in certain domains (e.g., interpersonal violence) may introduce bias.
The target sample size is 743 participants, calculated to estimate a 12% prevalence of depression (the condition with the lowest expected prevalence among the non-communicable conditions of interest, derived from a systematic review in low- and middle-income countries) with 20% relative precision and 95% confidence, accounting for 5% refusals or incomplete data.
