The MBD-5D is a prospective observational study with a case-cohort and a cohort design. Eligible patients are receiving hemodialysis and have secondary hyperparathyroidism. The study's three goals are (1) to record the patients' characteristics, and variation in the patterns of their treatment; (2) to analyze factors associated with variation in those medical practice patterns; and (3) to identify practice patterns and other factors that affect hospitalization, mortality, and other patient-level outcomes.
