d

same as footnote 2, plus study enrolment date (continuous)

e

came as footnote 2, plus study enrolment date (2 knot restricted cubic splines). If CD4/WHO at 180 days post ART initiation was not available, use CD4/WHO at ART initiation if available, or CD4/WHO at study enrolment if available. For WHO stage at 180 days post ART initiation, which had too few missing to use the missing indicator method, the missings were assigned to the reference category.

h

same as footnote 2, plus study enrolment date (3 knots stepwise restricted cubic spline).
