Predictors of Clinical Outcomes Among People With Human Immunodeficiency Virus and Tuberculosis Symptoms After Rapid Treatment Initiation in Haiti.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Few studies have evaluated baseline predictors of clinical outcomes among people with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) starting antiretroviral therapy (ART) in the modern era of rapid ART initiation.

Methods

We conducted a secondary analysis of a previously reported open-label randomized controlled trial of 2 rapid treatment initiation strategies for people with treatment-naive HIV and tuberculosis symptoms at a large urban clinic in Haiti. We used logistic regression models to assess associations between baseline characteristics and (1) retention in care at 48 weeks, (2) HIV viral load suppression at 48 weeks (among participants who underwent viral load testing), and (3) all-cause mortality. For the viral load suppression outcome, we used inverse probability we
