Hazard ratios compare adults with HIV/HBV coinfection with 1-domain or ≥2-domain social vulnerability with propensity score-matched adults with HIV/HBV coinfection and no documented social vulnerability. N indicates the total matched cohort size for each comparison; outcome-specific denominators may vary after exclusion of individuals with pre-follow-up evidence of the corresponding outcome. Significant ALT and AST elevations were defined as ≥3× upper limit of normal or ≥100 U/L. ALT indicates alanine aminotransferase; AST, aspartate aminotransferase; MACE, major adverse cardiovascular events; CKD, chronic kidney disease; INR, international normalized ratio.
