Relationship of HIV/AIDS Mortality with Demographic and HIV/AIDS Related Characteristics.

1HR: hazard ratio; NS: the covariate was either statistically insignificant (not entered into the initial full multivariable Cox model) or deleted during the model selection procedure; the proportional hazard assumption was tested using graphic approach (univariate model only) and time-dependent variable (both univariate and multivariable models).2The PH-assumption for the univariate model (gender) among all subjects was satisfied (p = 0.3000) but was violated for the overall multivariate final model (p = 0.0411).3The PH-assumption was satisfied for 0–3 months (p = 0.6228) and 3–24 months (p = 0.4097) final multivariate models. The R-square for the final multivariable models are 86% for 0–3 months and 12% for 3–24 months.
