Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| safety Hypocalcemia(Serum calcium level <8.50 mg/dL) The incidence of hypocalcemia will be calculated for each patient cohort. The risk ratio in the patient cohort treated for the first time with Pralia to the patient cohort not treated with Pralia and its 95% confidence interval will be calculated. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| safety Severe hypocalcemia(Serum calcium level <7.00 mg/dL) The incidence of hypocalcemia will be calculated for each patient cohort. The risk ratio in the patient cohort treated for the first time with Pralia to the patient cohort not treated with Pralia and its 95% confidence interval will be calculated. | — |
