  1. Data presented as hazard ratios (HR) and upper and lower 95% confidence intervals (CI).
  2. PTH = parathyroid hormone; P = phosphorous, Ca = calcium; VDRA = vitamin D receptor activator; Ca-based PiB = calcium containing phosphate binders; noCa-based PiB = non calcium containing phosphate binders. All variables (but age and gender) were included as time dependent covariates. Statistically significant p-values are highlighted in bold.
