To address this knowledge gap, we evaluated the risk of mortality associated with timing of ART initiation in ART-naive CAHIV treated for pTB.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Data were extracted from electronic medical records of ART-naive patients, aged 0\u201319 years, who were treated for HIV-associated pTB at Baylor Centers of Excellence in Botswana, Eswatini, Malawi, Lesotho, Tanzania, or Uganda between 2013 and 2020.

Adjusted Cox proportional hazards models demonstrated increased mortality 1 year from TB treatment initiation in children never starting ART (adjusted HR [aHR]: 2.67; 95% CI: 1.03, 6.94) versus children initiating ART between 2 weeks and 2 months from TB treatment initiation.
