CD4 < 100	7.5(3.1-18.2)	<0.001	3.1(1.1-8.6)	0.030
**CXR abnormal	1.2(0.6-2.5)	0.631	0.8(0.3-2.0)	0.637
Positive urine TB LAM test	34.6(15.6-76.5)	<0.001	15.3(5.7-41.1)	<0.001

*N = 361 with complete records. The model adjusted for gender, CD4 cell count, CXR findings, ART therapy, and positive lateral flow urine TB LAM test.

**CXR read by physician and reported as ‘abnormal and suggestive of TB’.
