Data management and analysis
Well structured case record forms were used for reviewing
the medical records and laboratory data. Microsoft Office
Excel 2007 and Look-like were used for data collection and
validation. Characteristics of patients coinfected with TB-HIV
were summarized descriptively as categorical data by percentage,
continuous data by the mean and standard deviation, or
median, maximum, minimum, or interquartile range based on
normality. Furthermore, our analysis sought factors predicting
each cause of death category using multinomial logistic regression
analysis and factors predicting access to antiretroviral
therapy using binomial logistic regression analysis.
