However, the ART-naïve group indicated having significantly greater problems under the CD4 count of >500 cells/μL in the anxiety/depression domain (22.4% vs 8.8%, p = 0.018) and significantly lower EQ-5D VAS scores under the CD4 counts of ≤200 cells/μL (median 80 (IQR 60–90) vs 90 (IQR 80–100), p = 0.0003) and 201–350 cells/μL (median 80 (IQR 70–90) vs 90 (80–100). Here, CD4 is linked to major depressive disorder.
