1

One-year analyses include all patients with at least one viral load conducted between 3 and 12 months after second-line ART initiation and complete covariate information

2

Final analyses included only those patients who initiated second-line ART between 2005 and 2008, had at least one viral load conducted at least 3 months after second-line ART initiation and had complete covariate information
