Abbreviations: aHR: adjusted Hazard Ratio; CI: Confidence Interval. Only variables that were independently significant at P< 0.05 in the multivariate model are shown. HIV status was forced into models. All other variables listed in table were measured at index visit and considered in the multivariate model and eliminated if they did not meet stepwise selection criteria of p-value ≥0.05.
