Association between the risk of death and serum calcium, phosphate, and intact parathyroid hormone levels in older patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis: a cohort study in Beijing.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The number of patients ⩾65 years who require maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) is increasing. Although reduced bone turnover in older patients receiving hemodialysis, as reflected by lower serum intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) and phosphate (P) levels, has been reported, focus on the association between abnormal bone metabolism and the risk of death in older patients receiving MHD has been limited.

Methods

We retrospectively examined data from the Beijing Hemodialysis Quality Control and Improvement Center for 1410 older patients who underwent hemodialysis from 1 January 2012 to 31 December 2016. Baseline, time-dependent (TD) Cox proportional hazards models and Kaplan-Meier analyses were used to evaluate the association between the markers of mineral and bone disor
