Table 4.

Models for the hazards of the subdistributions and specific-hazards of deaths due to AIDS- and to non-AIDS-related causes including baseline age (per 10 year increase), CD4 cell counts (per 50 cells increase), gender (reference: female) and risk group (IDU vs. other), and an interaction term between baseline age and log of time under observation. Baseline age treated as a time-dependent variable.

Outcome Variables aHR (95% CI) p
Deaths due to AIDS-related causes Baseline Age (10 years) 1 1.46 (1.15,1.85) <0.01
Baseline CD4 (50 cells) 0.87 (0.82,0.92) <0.01
Male gender 1.07 (0.71,1.59) 0.75
IDU 1.35 (0.42,4.31) 0.61

Deaths due to non-AIDS-related causes Baseline Age (10 years) 2 1.30 (0.94,1.80) 0.12
Baseline CD4 (50 cells) 0.90 (0.86,0.95) <0.01
