Univariate Analysis
Risk Factor at Enrollment	Hazard for Death		Hazard for MELD >25
MELD > 25	HR = 15.0	p<0.0001	-
HCV Co-Infection	HR = 1.0	p = 0.97	HR = 0.8	p = 0.52
Protease Inhibitor Regimen	HR = 1.5	p = 0.37	HR = 1.2	p = 0.59
CD4 < 200/μl	HR = 1.1	p = 0.74	HR = 1.0	p = 0.94
Detectable HIV RNA	HR = 3.2	p = 0.02	HR = 2.79	p = 0.005
