description | Background and objective. The prevalence of mild neurocognitive Disorder (MND) has increased after using antiretroviral therapy (ARV), which is around 51.5%. Inflammation plays an essential role in the neurodegenerative state of HIV patients. Peripheral blood images can assess increased macrophage activation by evaluating the number of leukocytes, neutrophils, total lymphocytes, hemoglobin, platelets, platelets, and neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) to determine the condition of systemic inflammation in HIV patients with cognitive impairment. This study to know differences in the appearance of peripheral blood in HIV patients with and without cognitive impairment.
Method. Observational analytic study with a cross-sectional design on 44 HIV patients who were outpatients at the polyclinic Voluntary Counseling and Testing (VCT) at Prof Dr. IGNG Ngoerah Denpasar Hospital. Subjects were divided into 2 groups based on cognitive status assessed using the MoCA-INA questionnaire. The peripheral blood images considered were the average levels of leukocytes, neutrophils, lymphocytes, hemoglobin, hematocrit, platelets, and the ratio of neutrophils to lymphocytes. Results. 31-40 years old, male, with >9 years of education, has a CD4 count >200, and has received ARV therapy >1 year.
The Shapiro-Wilk normality test performed on both groups showed that the data were normally distributed with p>0.05. Bivariate analysis using an independent t-test with a 95% confidence level (α=0.05) found significant differences in mean
leukocyte, neutrophil, lymphocyte, and neutrophil-lymphocyte ratios (p<0.05) between groups of HIV patients with cognitive impairment and no cognitive impairment. Conclusion. Inflammatory markers from the peripheral blood picture are increased in HIV-infected persons. |
