Competing risks multi-state model for time-to-event data analysis of HIV/AIDS: a retrospective cohort national datasets, Ethiopia.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Tuberculosis (TB) remains the most common opportunistic infection and leading cause of death among individuals living with HIV/AIDS in Ethiopia. Its significant impact on morbidity and mortality underscores the crucial link between these two diseases. While the advent of antiretroviral therapy (ART) has led to a dramatic decline in mortality rates among HIV/AIDS patients, TB continues to pose a substantial threat. This study aims to estimate the probability of death due to TB among HIV/AIDS patients on ART, considering the presence of various competing risks, including diarrhea, other infections, and unknown/unspecified causes. Also we have assessed the effects of prognostic factors on HIV/AIDS cause specific deaths, compared with the death from other competing risks,
