Change in hemoglobin (g/dl) from baseline to the average of the last 8 wk of treatment through week 22 excluding data collected after dialysis (modified intent-to-treat analysis set)

	TIW(n = 121)	QW(n = 124)	Q2W(n = 124)
N	121	124	123
Mean baseline	9.63	9.71	9.82
Mean change (SD) (minus TIW)	1.81 (0.910)	1.59 (0.997)	1.27 (0.906)
Diff. of LS means (SE)		−0.17 (0.106)	−0.43 (0.107)
95% CI		(−0.380; 0.037)	(−0.641; −0.221)

ANCOVA model with baseline hemoglobin alone as covariate.

CI, confidence interval; Diff., difference; LS, least squares; Q2W, every 2 wk; QW, once weekly; TIW, three times weekly.
