Worked example: VACS Index 53 of 164 (FIB-4 2.68). Higher values indicate greater 5-year all-cause mortality risk along a continuous curve (published anchors: score 0 ~1.8%, score 164 ~> 85.8%); there is no per-band mortality lookup. Contributions: age 55y +12, CD4 250 +6, HIV-1 RNA +7, Hb 11 +22, FIB-4 2.68 +6.
