When comparing measures of Carotid Intimal-Medial Thickness, a measure of sub-clinical cardiovascular disease, between HIV-infected cohorts and unifected cohorts, serious concerns were noted with the possible impact of reader effects. This talk will discuss the magnitude of these effects, the solutions implemented and the estimates of the effect of HIV infection on Carotid Intimal-Medial Thickness.
