In-Hospital Mortality of Disseminated Tuberculosis in Patients Infected with the Human Immunodeficiency Virus

Table 3

Cox regression analysis. Predictors of in-hospital mortality in HIV-infected patients with disseminated tuberculosis (𝑁=59).

	Hazard Ratio (HR)	Confidence Interval	𝑃
Fever at admission	0.18	0.06–0.54	<.01
High albumin levels	0.16	0.05–0.56	<.01
Appropriate initial TB therapy	0.25	0.06–1.06	.06
High bilirrubin levels	1.09	0.88–1.35	.41
Concomitant opportunistic infection	0.52	0.09–3.06	.47
Low hemoglobin levels	1.06	0.82–1.36	.64
ICU admission	0.98	0.33–2.57	.97

Note. HR, hazard ratio for hospital death; ICU, intensive care unit; TB, tuberculosis. High or low levels were per 1 g/dL change for albumin and hemoglobin and per 1 mg/dL for bilirrubins.
