  1. aIPT & ART were adjusted to the baseline covariates: gender, age, baseline body weight, baseline CD4 count, cotrimoxazole prophylaxis (ever use), baseline WHO functional status, baseline WHO stages, transfer history, and the entry point of care; HR Hazard Ratio, CI Confidence Interval, IPT Isoniazid Preventive Therapy, ART Antiretroviral Therapy; bAge interval is in every five years; cBaseline body weight is in every 10kgs; dBaseline CD4 count is in every 50 cells/mm3
