What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Percentage of Participants With an Adverse Event (AE) and a Serious Adverse Event

    An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered with Mircera and which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with Mircera. A Serious Adverse Event (SAE) is any experience that suggests a significant hazard, contraindication, side effect or precaution. It is any AE that at any dose fulfills at least one of the following criteria: is fatal; is life threatening; requires in-patient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization; results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity; is a congenital anomaly/birth defect; is medically significant or requires intervention to prevent one or other of the outcomes listed above.

    Measured: At physician's discretion, up to 4 years

  2. Percentage of Participants With an Adverse Drug Reaction (ADR)

    ADRs were defined as any response to a drug which was noxious and unintended, and which occurred at dose normally used related to the pharmacological properties. It was defined as any AE categorized as "definitely related","probably related", "possibly related", and "unknown" by investigators. In case that an ADR was not written on local Korean Mircera label, it was classified as "Unexpected". An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered with Mircera and which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with Mircera.

    Measured: At physician's discretion, up to 4 years
