“…The majority of patients with fracture had shorter hemodialysis duration (<4 years vs. ≥4 years: 40% vs. 17.8%; P = 0.027) and a history of steroid use (non-user vs. user: 21.7% vs. 63.6%; P = 0.004). Although, the medians of the FRAX® results for MOF and hip fracture were higher in the group with fracture, the difference between two groups did not reach statistical significance (fracture vs. no fracture: 9% (1.2–22) vs. 4.3% [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 ]; P = 0.066 for MOF and 3.8% (0.1–17) vs. 1.9% (0.1–12); P = 0.102 for hip fracture ( Table 1 ). Comparisons of current laboratory values revealed no differences in serum albumin-corrected calcium, phosphate, ALP, PTH, bicarbonate, and hemoglobin concentrations between the two groups.…”
