After adjusting for WHO clinical stage, past opportunistic infection other than TB, and CD4+ cell count, the hazard of death was more than two-folds (AHR: 2.19: 95% CI 1.17, 4.12) higher among TB-co-infected patients at ART initiation than those without TB at ART initiation in multivariable Cox regression analysis. Here, CD4 is linked to Opportunistic infection.
