Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| In patients on hemodialysis, hazard ratio and odds ratio of the baseline hepcidin and ESKD related protein concentration for the onset of future cardiovascular events. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Optimal cutoff value, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value for cardiovascular events. Optimal cutoff value for blood hepcidin and ESKD-related protein levels in ESA hyporesponsiveness. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value in the diagnosis of ESA hyporesponsiveness. Comparison of diagnostic ability of blood hepcidin concentration and erythropoietin resistance index (ERI). Rate of change in hepcidin and ESKD-related proteins before and after administration of ESAs. | — |
