Note: CA-MRSA: community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, ART: antiretroviral therapy, APACHE: Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation score
*Could not be calculated because no patients receiving ART died.
**Could not be calculated because no patients with APACHE <11 died.
