Table 4 Comparative analysis of logistic correlation between Z-Score (qualitative binary variable: normal range or non-normal range) and baseline parameters studied in HIV patients. The following table summarizes the results of these models using the odds ratio (OR), their 95% confidence interval (95% CI), and the p-value. P < 0.05 = significant
