aSixty-eight patients had ≥1 year of follow-up, 65 patients had ≥2 years of follow-up, and 53 patients had 3 years of follow-up.
bSixty-seven unique subjects, no change in statistical significance when restricted to unique subjects.
cSubjects with missing viral load assumed to have a viral load >200 copies/mL.
dAmong 43 subjects without continuous viral suppression, 31 (72%) had ≥1 viral load >200 copies/mL and 12 (28%) did not have any viral load during follow-up. No change in statistical significance when missing viral load was treated as unknown.
eNot significant when year of TB diagnosis was analyzed as a continuous variable.
fAmong patients who received ART during TB treatment (n = 57).
