Table percentages obtained using product-limit estimates. LTF defined as not having a recorded clinic visit within the last 6 months of clinic follow-up. Children who were LTF were censored 15 days after their last recorded visit. Children documented to have transferred to another facility were censored at their recorded date of transfer.
