  1. Univariate logistic regression analyses of key demographic and clinical variables as potential predictors of rifampicin resistance. Analyses were adjusted by treatment history. Variable levels with zero cases were excluded from the analyses; consequently, no analysis was conducted for HIV, but numbers of rifampicin resistant cases disaggregated by HIV status are included in the table for reference
  2. aHIV status was missing for one patient
