PHQ-9 ≥ 10 before DTG − 2.8 (− 4.3 to − 1.3) < 0.001 − 2.7 (− 1.2 to − 4.2) < 0.001
PHQ-9 ≥ 15 before DTG − 6.2 (− 8.6 to − 3.7) < 0.001
EFV use before DTG 0.11 (− 1.1 to 1.3) 0.859

PHQ-9 change = PHQ-9 at 2nd assessment minus PHQ-9 at 1st assessment

Statistical method: Linear regression with PHQ-9 change as dependent variable

Factors with p < 0.1 in the univariable model were included into multivariable analysis

NS not significant, PHQ-9 Patient Health Questionnaire-9, EFV Efavirenz
