Abbreviations: AHR, adjusted hazard ratio; CI, confidence interval; COD, cause of death; HAART, highly active antiretroviral therapy; OST, opioid substitution treatment; PH, proportional hazards; Ref, reference.

a Data are organized into durations on and off OST and HAART.

b Data are organized in monthly intervals; OST and HAART receipt in at least 95% of days in a given month; estimated parameters are cause-specific hazard ratios.

c HAART is included as a time-dependent confounder in the model.

d OST is included as a time-dependent confounder in the model.
