Survivors (n=95) | Non-survivors (n=22) | p-value | |
---|---|---|---|
Ca++ (mg/dL) | 4.7 [4.6-4.9] | 4.4 [3.8-4.7] | 0.001 |
GFR (mL/min/1.73 m2) | 60 [48-60] | 59 [26-60] | 0.042 |
Phosphorus (mg/dL) | 2.9 [2.3-4.2] | 3.2 [2.7-4.3] | 0.334 |
Magnesium (mg/dL) | 2.0±0.4 | 1.9±0.36 | 0.345 |
GFR: glomerular filtration rate calculated by the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease Study Group (MDRD). Values are expressed as the total mean ± 95% confidence interval OR the median [interquartile range].
