Table 2. Differences in mean weight-for-age z-scores and CD4+ T-cell percentage between children receiving ART at the hospital-affiliated and outreach clinics.

Comparison of the outreach clinic group to the hospital-affiliated clinic group Estimate (95% CI)a , b p-valuea

CI: Confidence interval; WAZ: weight-for-age z-score.

a

Estimates and p-values for comparisons from linear regression with GEE to account for repeated measures per child.

b

Adjusted for month on ART, age at ART initiation, underweight at ART initiation and severe immunosuppression at ART initiation.
