*Reference case is a female subject age 30–39, 0–30 days on ART.

a

Indicates p-value ≤0.05 for Wald test that marginal effect equals marginal effect for 271–360 days on ART.

b

Indicates p-value >0.05 for Wald test that marginal effect equals marginal effect for 271–360 days on ART.

c

Logistic regression, population averaged model.

d

Linear regression, population averaged model; marginal effect  =  linear regression coefficient.
