F3-150

Relative hazard and 95% CI from proportional hazards model, adjusted for age, hepatitis B status, and CD4+ lymphocyte count. Each participant entered the model at the date of the CD4+ lymphocyte count.

F3-151

Hepatitis B status defined by serology and vaccination history: Chronic participants had persistent hepatitis B surface antigenemia for at least 6 months; resolved had detectable hepatitis B anticore antibodies or antisurface antibodies with no antecedent hepatitis B vaccination; uninfected had undetectable hepatitis B anticore antibodies or hepatitis B vaccination with negative antecedent hepatitis B serology.
