		<description><![CDATA[At least 63% of the patients in this study had initial monitoring parameters measured; however, achieve­ment of follow-up monitoring was much lower. The hemoglobin AK target was achieved for 93% of the patients, but less than 45% of patients achieved other laboratory targets. Less than 60% of eligible patients received recommended medications.
