Cardiovascular (CV) events. Adjusted hazards ratios (AHR) for combinations of low and high levels of calcium, phosphorus, and parathyroid hormone (PTH). Adjustment has been made for the characteristics shown in Table 1. Reference category: Patients with phosphorus ≤5.5 mg/dl, calcium ≤10.2 mg/dl, and PTH ≤408 pg/ml. Error bars represent 95% confidence intervals.
