Associations of unsuppressed viral load with each outcome are adjusted for age, sex, race/ethnicity, history of chronic lower respiratory disease, BMI, calendar time, and account for competing risks of other outcomes as appropriate. Four HIV-positive patients did not have HIV RNA measurements available. Adjusted associations of unsuppressed viral load with time to intubation and time to death could not be estimated due to no events among unsuppressed.

Includes patients discharged alive during study period (N = 78).
