The CD4 cell count and VL exhibited here represent values measured closest to before or at ART start date.
P values for the comparison between patients in different lymphoma groups (Burkitt’s, PCNSL, DLBCL, and TCL and NK/TCLs) were calculated using Kruskal-Wallis and χ2 tests for non-normally distributed continuous variables and categorical variables, respectively.
Bonferroni-adjusted P values for pairwise comparison: CD4 cell count <200 vs >200: Burkitt’s vs PCNSL: .004, median CD4 cell count: Burkitt’s vs PCNSL, DLBCL: <.001, .006, Median VL: PCNSL vs DLBCL: .02, CD4 ≥200 and/or VL <500 vs CD4 <200 and VL ≥500: Burkitt’s vs PCNSL, DLBCL: .01, .005.
P values based on Fisher’s exact test because of some small cell counts.
