Table 3 Mean (SE) corrected serum calcium at baseline and after treatment (efficacy assessment phase; EAP) by iPTH target achievement during EAP

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

Calcium, mg/dL

iPTH ≤300 pg/mL at EAP (N = 300)

iPTH > 300 pg/mL at EAP (N = 239)

Baseline

9.6 (0.04) [298]

9.8 (0.05) [236]

EAP

9.1 (0.05) [300]

9.5 (0.05) [239]

Change from baseline to EAP

−0.5 (0.05) [298]

−0.3 (0.05) [236]

p-value*

<0.001

<0.001

  1. *Paired t-test. Last value carried forward imputation (LVCF) was used for patients who did not have iPTH or calcium values measured during the EAP.
  2. SE: standard error.
