Crude and Adjusted Cox Regression Analysis Comparing Mortality Among Patients with VL ≥30,000 vs VL <30,000 at Diagnosis

Predictors	HR (95% CI)
	Crude model	Adjusted model 1	Adjusted model 2	Adjusted model 3	Adjusted model 4
	VL, c/mL
<30,000	Ref.	Ref.	Ref.	Ref.	Ref.
≥30,000	1.74 (1.34–2.26)	1.39 (1.06–1.84)	1.96 (1.48–2.47)	1.35 (1.04–1.76)	1.56 (1.18–2.06)

Model 1: adjusted for patients' mortality due to alcohol consumption, narcotics, and suicide.

Model 2: adjusted for patients' mortality due to alcohol consumption, narcotics, suicide, and CD4 (<200 cells/μL) at diagnosis.

Model 3: adjusted for patients' age, sex, and nationality.

Model 4: adjusted for patients' CD4 (<200 cells/μL) counts at diagnosis.

CI, confidence interval; HR, hazard ratio; VL, viral load.
