Deaths during study period
| Number of patients who died* | Event rate per 100 person years (95% CI) | |
|---|---|---|
| All patients (n=494) | 51 | 5.96 (4.32 to 7.60) |
| Never TB (n=286) | 28 | 6.31 (3.97 to 8.65) |
| TB prior to ART (n=161) | 21 | 7.01 (4.01 to 10.00) |
| TB IRIS (n=23) | 3 | 10.82 (2.23 to 31.63) |
| Incident TB (n=32) | 0 | – |
*Note, that one patient had TB IRIS and TB prior to ART. Therefore, in total, 51 deaths occurred, but when adding never TB (deaths=28), TB prior to ART (deaths=21), TB IRIS (deaths=3) and incident TB (death=0) together, number of deaths equals 52.
ART, antiretroviral therapy; TB, tuberculosis; TB IRIS, immune reconstitution or unmasking TB.
