Table 2 Multivariable models showing the hazard ratios for the associations between enrolment creatinine clearance and times to meeting criteria for initiation of cARTa

From: Reduced renal function is associated with progression to AIDS but not with overall mortality in HIV-infected kenyan adults not initially requiring combination antiretroviral therapy
