*Data were missing for gender (n = 1), CD4 (n = 10), BMI in 482 patients (n = 129), anemia status (n = 7), history of IDU (n = 45).

Sensitivity analysis: subjects with TB treatment within 3 months presentation excluded from analysis

Mild anemia: Hb 10.5 - 12.99 g/dL for men; and 10.5 - 11.99 g/dL for women, moderate-severe anemia: Hb < 10.5 g/dL.

ART: receive ART within 6 of presentation.
