“…The following information was collected in the secondary questionnaire: general characteristics (age, sex, date of the first visit to the treating physicians, body height and weight), clinical manifestations on the first visit to the treating physicians, family history of bone diseases, clinical history from onset to the diagnosis of TIO (estimated date of onset, the hospitals and departments the patients visited before the diagnosis of TIO), initial diagnoses other than TIO, laboratory results from onset of the symptoms to the latest visit (albumin, calcium, phosphate, creatinine, alkaline phosphatase, intact FGF23, intact parathyroid hormone [PTH], 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D], and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D [1,25(OH) 2 D]), dates of the first measurement of phosphate and intact FGF23, physician-assessed efficacy of imaging tests including X-ray, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), FPET/CT, SRS, and 68 Gallium-DOTATOC-PET/CT for the localization of PMTs, physician-assessed efficacy of SVS (ie, the sampling point with the highest FGF23 value was located near a PMT detected by thin slice CT and/or MRI), bone mineral density, characteristics of the identified PMTs (maximum diameter, location, and histopathology), diagnosis of the primary neoplastic disorders other than PMTs that might overproduce FGF23 (eg, small-cell lung carcinoma, small-cell prostate carcinoma (21,23,24) ), surgical information (date, department, procedure [wide excision, marginal resection, and curettage]), surgical outcomes and information about additional surgery, local recurrence, or distal metastasis, the reasons to avoid surgery, treatment on the latest visit (doses of active vitamin D, oral inorganic phosphate preparation, and burosumab), the existence of metastasis, fractures developed after the diagnosis of TIO, and ambulatory function at the first and the latest visit to the treating physicians. There is no consensus on the criteria for interpreting SVS results; therefore, deciding whether SVS was useful for detecting PMT in this research was solely the physician's discretion.…”
