After adjusting for age, sex, and baseline CD4, there remained no evidence of a significant association between hazard of death comparing subclinical TB to reference (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] 0.84, 95% CI 0.26–2.73), and the increased hazard of death comparing active TB to reference was attenuated and no longer significant (aHR 1.55, 95% CI 0.90–2.66). This evidence concerns the gene CD4 and tuberculosis.
