ANOVA, analysis of variance; eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate; eHTKV-α, estimated height-adjusted total kidney volume growth rate; IQR, interquartile range; LSM, least squares mean; SD, standard deviation; SE, standard error; TKV, total kidney volume; TQ, tolvaptan eHTKV-α quartile

aAnalyses included all patients in TEMPO 3:4 with TKV data available to calculate eHTKV-α at baseline and year 1; tolvaptan-assigned patients were further divided into quartiles (TQ1–TQ4) based on percent change in eHTKV-α from baseline at 1 year

bP values were calculated using Pearson’s tests to determine whether there were significant correlations between change in eHTKV-α from baseline at 1 year and annual changes in TKV or eGFR over 3 years

cStatistical comparisons between tolvaptan eHTKV-α quartiles were based on ANOVA trend tests

dStatistical comparisons with the placebo group were based on ANOVA trend tests

Statistically significant values are indicated in bold
