Regarding age distribution, ESA users with CKD starting a treatment with a biosimilar appear to be older (mean age ± SD: 80.4±8.7) than those starting with the reference product (mean age ± SD: 64.5±14.7, p-value = 0.055) or ESAs covered by patent (mean age ± SD: 66.0 ±16.1, p-value = 0.057), despite they did not reach statistical significance.
