Prior to ART initiation, the differences in CD4% and in CD4 counts did not reach statistical significance comparing male with female children ( S2 Table ), and, using the Cox hazard model, sex remained a significant covariate in CD4 reconstitution in favor of females in the 1–4yr group (adjusted hazard ratio 1.4, p = 0.030) and also in the ≥5yo group (adjusted hazard ratio 1.4, p = 0.011) ( Table 2 ).
