Relative to being retained by both definitions (attending ≥75% of scheduled visits and attending ≥2 visits >90 days apart); conditional odds ratios are odds of having retention status in column header versus retained by both definitions, among person-years in one of those two groups; conditional odds ratios are adjusted for all other variables (rows) in the table, calendar year and CNICS site
