 | | The strongest independent predictors of IRIS were younger age at initiation of HAART (P =.003), baseline CD4 cell percentage of <10% (odds ratio [OR], 2.97; IQR, 1.177.55) compared with >15%, and ratio of CD4 cell percentage to CD8 cell percentage of <0.15 (OR, 3.45; 95% confidence interval, 1.279.1) compared with >0.3. |
 | | At initiation of HAART, the median age of patients was 35 years (interquartile range [IQR], 30.740 years), and the median CD4 cell count and viral load were 174 × 106 cells/L (IQR, 82285 × 106 cells/L) and 37,830 copies/mL (IQR, 4809149,653 copies/mL), respectively. |
 | | The median time to onset of the first IRIS event was 12 weeks (IQR, 424 weeks), and 65% of events occurred within 3 months after initiation. |
