hsCRP indicates high‐sensitivity C‐reactive protein; OR, odds ratio.
Covariates include: study indicators, log‐transformed time to event, age, gender, race, body mass index, HIV‐RNA, baseline CD4+ cell count, and earlier AIDS at baseline.
Number of fatal CVD events=74.
Number of nonfatal CVD events=214.
Based on 2 df chi‐square test.
