Table 3

Comparison of serum potassium values between the kanamycin-based group and the capreomycin-based group at the initial visit, first month, and second month of treatment.

		N	Potassium		value
			Mean ± SD (mEq/L)	Min-max (mEq/L)
Initial visit	Kanamycin	44	4.0 ± 0.4	3.3–4.8	0.100
	Capreomycin	40	4.1 ± 0.5	3.5–5.5
First month	Kanamycin	44	3.6 ± 0.4	2.8–4.3	0.086
	Capreomycin	40	3.4 ± 0.7	1.8–4.7
Second month	Kanamycin	44	3.7 ± 0.5	2.4–4.7	<0.001
	Capreomycin	40	3.2 ± 0.6	1.8–4.2

SD, standard deviation; min, minimum value; max, maximum value; analyzed using the unpaired t-test.
