Parathyroid Hormone Serum Levels and Mortality among Hemodialysis Patients in the Gulf Cooperation Council Countries: Results from the DOPPS (2012-2018).

ABSTRACT:

Background

The prospective Dialysis Outcomes and Practice Patterns Study (DOPPS) has collected data since 2012 in all six Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries (Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and United Arab Emirates). We report the relationship of PTH with mortality in this largest GCC cohort of patients on hemodialysis studied to date.

Methods

Data were from randomly selected national samples of hemodialysis facilities in GCC-DOPPS phases 5 and 6 (2012-2018). PTH descriptive findings and case mix-adjusted PTH/mortality Cox regression analyses were based on 1825 and 1422 randomly selected patients on hemodialysis, respectively.

Results

Mean patient age was 55 years (median dialysis vintage, 2.1 years). Median PTH ranged from 259 pg/ml (UAE) to 437 pg/
