- The ‘on-time adherence’ definition of retention is considered as the reference (n = 407 women retained in care at 12-months post-ART initiation and with ≥75% on-time adherence to scheduled visits). The percentage of misclassified patients is calculated using the sum of patients incorrectly classified according to each definition divided by the total number of patients included in the analysis
