aDefined as presenting to care with CD4 < 200 or WHO Stage 3 and 4

bAdjusted for district, age, sex, and distance to health facility

cAdjusted for district, age, sex, distance to health facility, BMI, and method of enrollment

dTreatment failure was composite outcome that included death, loss to follow-up, or virological failure where virological failure which was defined as having a viral load ≥ 200 copies/ml among those who had previously achieved viral suppression

eProportional hazards assumption was violated for this model and the hazard ratio should be interpreted as the incidence rate ratio over the 630-day follow-up rather than an instantaneous hazard
