  1. COR crude odds ratio, AOR adjusted odds ratio, CI confidence interval, ART antiretroviral therapy, MPR medication possession ratio (pharmacy refill); m variable with missing value; * statistically significant association at P < 0.05; –: not applicable.
  2. The effect of missingness in this particular dataset is negligible as the complete case analysis and multiple imputation gave exactly the same AORs (results not displayed).
