Profile of the study cohort during the first year of treatment follow up.
ART = antiretroviral therapy; LTFU = lost-to-follow-up; VL = viral load.

Multivariable associations between baseline characteristics and treatment failure at 6 and 12 months.
Fig 2.
Antiretroviral treatment (ART) outcome at month six (a) and 12 (b) for 874 patients.
The number of patients with treatment outcome data at month six and 12 were: Tikur Anbessa Specialized Hospital (TASH): 109, 105; Army: 101, 80; Gondar: 133, 113; Jimma: 109, 80; Mekelle: 119, 97; Harrar: 107, 70; Hawassa: 129, 98. Virologic failure = VL> 1000 copies/ml; LTFU = lost-to-follow-up due to death and other reasons; ART failure = virologic failure plus LTFU.
