borderline significantp = 0.022
In PWHIV, there was a borderline significant correlation between GLS and log 10 CD4 cell count [coefficient 0.79 (95% CI: 0.12, 1.45) p = 0.022]; however, this was no longer significant after adjustment for covariates (smoking, recreational drug use, fasting glucose, cholesterol, HDL, BMI, heart rate, systolic BP, diastolic BP, sex, and left ventricular mass index).
