OR: odds ratio, CI: confidence interval,
†
Unadjusted odds ratios and p-values generated via univariate analysis.
‡
Adjusted odds ratios and p-values resulted from multivariate analysis using a logistic regression model. All variables in univariate analysis were included in the multivariable model.
§
All CI presented are 95% CI and all p-values presented are two-sided.
Missing data analyses were undertaken, but did not change the pattern of findings. There were very few pieces of missing data for all categories except for CD4 count (4.4%), and HCV serostatus(16.8%). Thus, the missing data values are not presented in this table.
