a. HIV = Human immunodeficiency virus. BL = Burkitt lymphoma
b. Categorical variables were presented as percent and compared using Rao-Scott chi-square test. Continuous variables were presented as median and interquartile range and compared using regression to allow for NRD weighting
c. Between-HIV differences in comorbid heart failure, cerebrovascular accident and occlusion of precerebral arteries with infarction, alcohol abuse, rheumatoid arthritis and collagen vascular disease, diabetes, drug abuse, chronic pulmonary disease, obesity, peripheral vascular disorders, and hypothyroidism could not be reported per the NRD Data Use Agreement; the number of unweighted hospitalizations was 10 or less
d. The NRD sampling design was accounted for in all analyses using SAS v. 9.4 with two-tail p < 0.05 indicating statistical significance
