Objective: Assess the risk of death for offspring of pregnant women with HIV (PWHIV) and the association with sociodemographic, pregnancy, HIV-related, and birth factors. Design: We conducted a prospective cohort study of PWHIV on antiretroviral therapy (ART) and their offspring in urban Tanzania who were enrolled in a vitamin D trial conducted from June 2015 to October 2019. Methods: We described rates of fetal, neonatal, and infant death and assessed risk factors for these outcomes with generalized estimating equations. We also estimated population-attributable risk percentages for the contribution of prematurity and small-for-gestational age (SGA) to neonatal and infant mortality.
