Mortality AIDS‐related was independently associated with no retention in care (OR 14.09, 95% CI: 1.946 to 700.42); OI at diagnosis (OR 11.66, 95% CI: 1.35 to 514.25); CD4 count nadir for each unit of increase (OR 0.989, 95% CI: 0.984 to 0.999); viral load suppressed before death (OR 0.034, 95% CI: 0.002 to 0.354). Here, CD4 is linked to AIDS.
