Di Iorio B, Bellasi A, Russo D, on behalf of the INDEPENDENT Study Investigators: Mortality in Kidney Disease Patients Treated with Phosphate Binders: A Randomized Study. Clin J Am Soc Nephrol 7: 487–493, 2012; published ahead of print January 12, 2012, doi:10.2215/CJN.03820411. In the Methods section, the following statement should have been included, “We performed a per protocol analysis”. Figures 2–4 contained incorrect numbers of at-risk individuals at each time period that have been corrected here (see revised figures). However, the results of the Cox regression analyses and the Kaplan-Mayer curves reported in the published paper are correct. In addition, the title to Figure 2 should have more specifically indicated that it illustrates all-cause mortality prior to dialysis initiation because patients were censored from the analysis at the time of dialysis initiation; the revised title is “All-cause mortality prior to dialysis inception in patients randomized either to sevelamer or calcium carbonate.” In addition, the following statement about the study funding was inadvertently omitted from the published manuscript: This study was not supported by industry and did not receive a grant from any institution. Finally, although the study was a clinical trial, it was not registered in any trial registry.
