Univariate and multivariable linear regression analyses for the association between elevated depressive scores (exposure) and poorer quality of life (outcome) among adults living with HIV in coastal Kenya, n=72

Exposure variable	Univariate analysis			Multivariable analysis
	Unadjusted β coefficient (95% CI)	P values	R2 (%)	Adjusted β coefficient* (95% CI)	P values	R2 (%)
Depressive scores	−1.17 (−1.53 to 0.80)	<0.01	36.70	−1.17 (−1.55 to 0.80)	<0.01	45.19
Adjusted for:
Age				−0.20 (−0.77 to 0.37)	0.48
Sex (male vs female)				7.02 (−1.18 to 15.22)	0.09
No of ARV medication (3 vs 2)				−4.49 (−12.32 to 3.33)	0.26
HIV staging
Stages 2 vs 1				−2.63 (−10.04 to 4.77)	0.48
Stages 3 vs 1				−8.60 (−18.12 to 0.91)	0.08
Duration on ARV
1–5 years vs <1 year				7.83 (−6.63 to 22.29)	0.28
6–10 years vs <1 year				9.29 (−5.16 to 23.73)	0.20
