Does the informal caregiver notice HIV associated mild cognitive impairment in people living with HIV
Kenneth J Murray, Kenneth Murray et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2016
HIV associated minor neurocognitive disorder (MND) may be difficult to identify as key signs and symptoms (S & S) may be due to other clinical conditions. Using a self-assessment booklet "HIV and associated MND" we recruited 123 people living with HIV (PLHIV) from three sites: two hospital HIV clinics and a sexual health clinic in Sydney, Australia.

Using data from patient interactions in primary care for population level chronic disease surveillance
Open AccessAbhijeet Ghosh, Karen E Charlton et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2014
This proof-of-concept study has demonstrated that the scope of data collected during patient visits to their general practitioners (GPs), facilitated through the Medicare-funded primary health care system in Australia, provides an opportunity for monitoring of chronic disease prevalence and its associated risk factors at the local level. Selection of sentinel sites that are representative of the population being served will facilitate an accurate…
