Population: Alkaline phosphatase activity was analyzed separately for children (less than 18 years of age) and adults as values varied considerably between these two groups. In other outcome measure modules the paricalcitol group is comprised of 19 participants analyzed which includes adults and children. In this module, the children (2) are their own arm.

99-Tc-methylenediphosphonate bone scans were completed and analyzed using the following scale\*: Bone scan severity scale with minimum score of 0 and maximum score of 4 (0 is no disease and 4 is greatest severity of disease). Appearance of lumbar spine and the sacroiliac region were used as internal references to which all suspected lesions were compared, and scored as follows: grade 0, normal scan without suspicious lesions grade 1, lesion(s) less intense than normal lumbar spine grade 2, lesion(s) similar in intensity to normal lumbar spine grade 3, lesions more intense than normal lumbar spine but similar to the normal sacroiliac region grade 4, lesions more intense than the normal sacroiliac region. \*devised by nuclear medicine radiologist at Yale New Haven Hospital
