SD = Standard deviation.
1Maternal TDF use defined as any reported TDF-containing ARV regimen used at any time during pregnancy for any amount of time among mothers that used combination ART for HIV treatment or PMTCT while pregnant.
2Logistic regression models for binary outcomes and linear regression for continuous outcomes.
3Adjusted for maternal age, maternal education level, breastfeeding, gestational age at birth, time since maternal HIV diagnosis, maternal WHO clinical stage, timing of ART initiation (before or during pregnancy), trimester of first combo ART regimen use during pregnancy, and PI-containing ART regimen.
