Modeling the survival in patients with HIV by the presence of competing risks for death: sub-distribution and cause-specific hazard approach

ConclusionTaking into account the strong association of CD4(350+), ART, IPT, CPT, and being a male with the hazard of mortality caused by the competing causes of death in patients with HIV, in both SDH and CSH models, designing sex-specific policymaking and interventional programs are recommended to prolong the survival of patients with HIV. The future treatment program can utilize the results.
