Characteristic	Median (IQR) or Percentage (N=241)
Lesions compatible with KS
≥ 50 skin lesions*	36%
Percentage of lesions that are raised†	55% (35%–75%)
≥ 1 lesion of tumor (≥ 20 mm) morphology	37%
≥ 1 lesion with ulceration	24%
Largest diameter of ulceration (mm)	20 (14–45)
≥ 1 lesion with superinfection	19%
Largest diameter of superinfection	30 (15–50)
Median number of anatomic regions with KS**	4 (2–7)
Lesion with the largest diameter (mm)	28 (15–50)
Edema
Any edema present	77%
Facial (including periorbital)	7.3%
Upper extremity	0.4%
Genital	21%
Lower extremity	68%
No. of anatomic regions with edema***	2 (1 to 2)

^*The presence of ≥ 50 skin lesions, as compared to <50 skin lesions, was not associated with ACTG T1 stage, presence of visceral disease, or CD4 count ≥200.

^**Anatomic regions for KS include the head, oral cavity, neck, chest, abdomen, back, arms, legs, hands, feet, genitals and gluteals

^***Anatomic regions for edema include the face, genitals, arms, legs, hands and feet.

^†Measured as number of raised compared to flat lesions averaged across three representative areas
