Estimated effect of HAART on mortality among 790 HIV-infected children initiating HIV care in Kinshasa, DRC, between December 2004 and May 2010.

All estimates are derived from pooled logistic models that include time modeled as a restricted cubic spline with four knots. Comparing HAART to no HAART, the unadjusted mortality rate ratio was 0.54 (95% CI 0.34–0.85), while the unadjusted ratio of 3-y mortality risks was 0.31 (95% CI 0.23–0.43).
