aOdds ratios were adjusted by skin color, education, site of tuberculosis, HIV transmission route, and CD8 count. bP-values were calculated using the unconditional logistic regression model. Associations were considered significant with a value of P < 0.05. cSkin color categorization followed the classificatory system employed by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) (Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística, 2013). dClassification, according to the International Standard Classification of Education (ISCED) maintained by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). N, number of individuals in each group; TB, tuberculosis; %, Frequencies; aOR, adjusted odds ratio; 95% CI, 95% confidence interval. NC, not calculated.
