Association of clinical and behavioral factors with
tuberculosis infection
We performed a chi-square test to assess the association of demographic,
behavioral, and clinical factors with tuberculosis infection. Among all
the variables assessed in the current study, statistically, significant
differences were observed among cases and controls based on previous TB
history (P<0.001 ), baseline functional status
(P=0.010 ), baseline WHO clinical stage (P=0.001 ), baseline
Hgb value (P=0.008 ), baseline BMI (P=0.049 ), IPT intake
(P=0.005 ), baseline CD4 value (P<0.001 ) and
duration of taking ART (P<0.001 ) (Table 2)
