In unadjusted analyses, mortality risk was higher in patients aged 55 years or older, men, ART-experienced patients, those unable to walk, patients with severe anaemia (haemoglobin < 80 g/l), patients with CD4 cell count < 100 cells/μl, and those with positive urine TB-LAM tests (Table 2). This evidence concerns the gene CD4 and anemia (phenotype).
