Reference Category within variable.
Indeterminant due to small sample size and/or outcome event rate not allowing for enough power to report an OR.
ART indicates antiretroviral therapy; CALHIV, children and adolescents living with HIV; CI, Confidence Interval; DTG, dolutegravir; N/A, not applicable; NNRTI, nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor; OR, odds ratio; PI, protease inhibitor; VL, viral load.
