a

All ORs are adjusted for time from randomization and treatment arm.

b

Changes in the probability of carriage over time estimated separately for placebo and CoT treatment arms, without adjustment for any other factors.

c

*, Estimated from fixed-effects logistic regression since mixed models estimating the effect of CD4% and CD4% change from the baseline on the carriage of S. pneumoniae were unstable.
