  1. aTreatment failure was composite outcome that included death, loss to follow-up, or virological failure
  2. bVirological failure which was defined as having a viral load ≥ 200 copies/ml among those who had previously achieved viral suppression
  3. cFisher's exact test was used due to small cell count
