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
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
None: males: ≥13 g/dL, females: ≥12 g/dL; Mild: males: 11–12 g/dL, females: 11–11.9 g/dL; Moderate: 8–10 g/dL; Severe: <8 g/dL
