For these mortality analyses, only PLWH with at least 2 documented study visits, including the enrolment visit and/or a reported death event were considered, n = 2724. Unadjusted Cox proportional hazards regression models were run to identify socio-demographic factors associated with mortality at the most recent visit by estimating HRs and associated 95% CIs. For factors with non-response and missing data points, only available data were analyzed.
Abbreviations: CI, confidence interval; HR, hazard ratio; PLWH, people living with HIV.
