“…There was a high risk of mortality among female (adjusted HRs (AHRs) (95% CI) =1.35 (1.14 to 1.65)), those with poor adherence (AHR (95% CI) =1.29 (1.13 to 1.35)), CD4 count of ≤200 cells/mm3 (AHR (95% CI) =1.75 (1.33 to 2.30)) and baseline haemoglobin≤12 g/dL (AHR (95% CI) =1.8 (1.66 to 1.98)).Conclusion The significant drop in the survival rate as of the 6th year follow-up and the high loss rate to follow-up call for programme attention. Close follow-up of children with low CD4 count, low haemoglobin and poor adherence could help improve survival.…”
