hi, how can this be, that they say that the RR of 1.19 is an increase, and the RR 1.26 and RR 1.68 in not an increase?
"elevated serum PTH concentration increased the risk of all-cause mortality (RR 1.19; 95% CI 1.08–1.30) but not for cardiovascular mortality (RR 1.26; 95% CI 0.96–1.66). Subgroup analyses indicated that cardiovascular mortality risk appeared to be more pronounced among men (RR 1.68; 95% CI 1.05–2.67)."
