  1. aIncluded all couples and cycles (N = 354 cycles). Data is presented as the cumulative hazard ratio for failing ART at any point per 1 unit increase of smoking intensity (continuous, centered average cigarettes/day) and total years of smoking (continuous, centered years). The model was adjusted for female age and BMI, protocol, educational status, current smoking status and partner’s smoking status
  2. bLimited to ever smokers only (N = 105 cycles for women; N = 119 cycles for men). Data is presented as the cumulative hazard ratio for failing ART at any point per 1 unit increase of smoking cessation (centered, continuous years). The model was adjusted for female age and BMI, protocol, educational status, pack-years history and partner’s smoking status
  3. cLimited to ever smokers only (N = 105 cycles for women; N = 119 cycles for men). Data is presented as the cumulative hazard ratio for failing ART at any point per 1 unit increase of smoking age at initiation (centered, continuous years). The model was adjusted for female age and BMI, protocol, educational status, pack-years history, current smoking status and partner’s smoking status
