Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Background: Chronic cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection has been postulated as a driver of chronic inflammation that has been associated with frailty and other age-related conditions in both HIV-infected (HIV+) and -uninfected (HIV-) people. Methods: To study the T cell response to CMV as a predictor of onset and maintenance of frailty, baseline CMV-specific T cell responses of 42 men (20 HIV-, 22 HIV+; 21 frail, 21 nonfrail) in the Multicenter AIDS Cohort Study (MACS) were assessed by flow cytometric analysis of cytokine production (IFN-γ, TNF-⍺, and IL-2) in response to overlapping peptide pools spanning 19 CMV open reading frames. The Fried frailty phenotype was assessed at baseline and semiannually thereafter. Times to transition into or out of frailty were compared by tertiles of percentages of cytokine-producing T cells using Kaplan-Meier estimators and the exact log-rank test. Results: Over a median follow-up of 6.5 (interquartile range: 2) years, faster onset of frailty was significantly predicted by higher (HIV- men) or lower (HIV+ men) percentages of CD4 T cells producing only IFN-γ (IFN-γ-single-producing (SP)), and by lower percentages of IFN-γ-, TNF-⍺-, and IL-2-triple-producing CD8 T cells (HIV- men). Greater maintenance of frailty was significantly predicted by lower percentages of both these T cell subsets in HIV- men, and by lower percentages of IFN-γ-SP CD4 T cells in HIV+ men. The antigenic specificity of IFN-γ-SP CD4 T cells was different between HIV- and HIV+ nonfrail men, as were the correlations between these cells and serum inflammatory markers. Conclusions: In this pilot study, percentages of CMV-specific T cells predicted the onset and maintenance of frailty in HIV- and HIV+ men. Predictive responses differed by HIV status, which may relate to differential control of CMV reactivation and inflammation by anti-CMV T cell responses.
