  1. *Cox proportional hazard models adjusted for CD4 cell count (< 50, > 50 cells/mm3), age (< 29, > 29 years old), anemia (no anemia Hb > 13 g/dl for men and > 12 g/dl for women, mild Hb < 10.5 - 12.99 g/dL for men; and < 10.5 - 11.99 g/dL for women, moderate-severe anemia: Hb < 10.5 g/dL), and gender.
  2. Ferritin: High > 400 ng/mL for men or > 150 ng/mL for women, low-normal < 400 ng/mL for men or < 150 ng/mL for women; sTfR: Low < 1870 U/mL; normal-high > 1870 U/mL
  3. HR, Hazard ration; CI: confidence interval; hsCRP, high sensitive C-reactive protein.
