Table 1 Serum phosphorus (P) category and mean serum P at baseline and after treatment (efficacy assessment phase; EAP) by iPTH achievement category during EAP

From: Is serum phosphorus control related to parathyroid hormone control in dialysis patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism?

  1. *P < 0.001 vs subgroup with iPTH > 300 pg/mL at EAP, Pearson chi-squared test. Last value carried forward imputation (LVCF) was used for patients who did not have iPTH or phosphorus values measured during the EAP.
  2. **Paired t-test.
  3. SE: standard error.
