VACS risk index has been published
« on: January 18, 2011, 05:15:51 pm »
just a quick note as I have just noticed that

http://www.vacohort.org/index.aspx

have finally released their VACS risk index

The Veterans Aging Cohort Study (VACS) is a prospective, observational cohort study of HIV- positive and an age/race/site matched control group of HIV- negative veterans in care in the United States.

it is a bit obscure but, at least, it is published...
