Declarations

:

: All the data analyzed in this study was from the AMPATH Medical Records System (AMRS) and was de-identified. De-identification was done by data managers and programmers at AMPTH who extracted the data from the AMRS and removed identifiers including: names; Kenya national identification numbers; dates of birth; mobile phone numbers; and residential information. Thus, this study was not considered human subjects research. Nevertheless, the Institutional Research and Ethics Committee (IREC) at Moi University/Moi Teaching and Referral hospital in Eldoret, Kenya approved the study. Anonymized data were stored on a secure, password protected server and transferred between collaborators via encrypted email.

: Not applicable.
