    <p>Late presentation: diagnosed with HIV with a CD4 count below 350/mm<sup>3</sup> or an AIDS defining event regardless of the CD4 count, in the 6 mo following HIV diagnosis. Late presentation with advanced disease: diagnosed with HIV with a CD4 count below 200/mm<sup>3</sup>or an AIDS defining event, regardless of CD4 cell count, in the 6 mo following HIV diagnosis.</p>a<p>Delayed entry into care: ≥3 mo between HIV diagnosis and first clinic visit, in those patients where both dates were recorded (<i>n</i> = 34,561). Baseline was defined as the earliest of HIV test, first study visit, or cohort enrolment. “Other” regions included Central/Southern America (<i>n</i> = 4,277) and Asia (<i>n</i> = 1,005). “Other” HIV male and female transmission groups included 5,350 (84.8%) and 2,046 (70.8%) patients with unknown HIV-exposure group, respectively, likely to include a number of IDUs, MSMs, and heterosexuals.</p><p>IQR, interquartile range.</p

    Sensitivity analyses showing the proportion of late presenters or late presenters with advanced disease using different inclusion criteria for CD4 count at HIV diagnosis: COHERE 2000–2011.

    <p>Adjusted additionally for age, region of origin, delayed entry into care (≥3 mo between HIV diagnosis and first clinic visit), and HIV-exposure group. Late presentation: presenting for care with a CD4 count below 350/mm<sup>3</sup> or presenting with an AIDS defining event regardless of the CD4 count, in the 6 mo following presentation. Advanced disease: presenting for care with a CD4 count below 200/mm<sup>3</sup>or presenting with an AIDS defining event, regardless of CD4 cell count, in the 6 mo following presentation.</p>a<p>Figures are <i>n</i> (%) of clinical events (AIDS/deaths) in late presenters or late presenters with advanced disease.</p
