Linkage and Retention in Care from Patient File Data

Files with documented CD4 values	34/39 (87.2%)*
CD4 values (cells/mm3)	Mean	226
	Median	156.5
	Range	2 – 772
Proportion initiating ART, among those eligible*	22/24 (91.6%)**
Days to ART initiation from day CD4 results were received (days)	Mean	36.14
	Median	19
	Range	0 – 151
Pre-ART patients retained	2/7 (28.6%)***
ART patients retained	18/23 (78.3%)****
ART patients initiating over 6 months prior to extraction with HIV viral load test results	3/8 (37.5%)

^*Three patient files had no reported CD4 count or any other documentation so we could not determine if they were pre-ART or ART patients. Two files were missing CD4 count values, but these patients had been assigned to pre-ART register in the notes

^**We excluded three ART-eligible patients who were documented as transferred to another clinic for ART initiation or who had moved and one patient who had died.

^***We excluded one pre-ART patient who had transferred out of the clinic.

^****We excluded two ART patients who had transferred out of the clinic and one who had died
