a

Separate models were constructed for each of the standards. Covariates were sequentially added to the model from step 1 to step 3. Quintile 1 (least deprived); Quintile 5 (most deprived).

b

Covariates adjusted: age, sex, cause of end stage renal disease, year of start of RRT, RRT modality;

c

p values quoted are significance levels for heterogeneity.

RRT, renal replacement therapy; PTH, parathyroid hormone; URR, Urea reduction ratio; CaPo4, calcium phosphate product.
