aSoC probabilities informed by HK recurrence rates observed in Horne et al. (2019) with recurrence events distributed in line with the distribution of initial HK events across potassium categories; patiromer estimates informed by Horne et al. (2019) after application of a HR based on OPAL-HK data from months 2 and 3; SE assumed as 10% of mean
