CKD Heart Failure Mortality: Increased Risk in Patients
Okay, I’ve read the text you provided. It discusses two abstracts analyzing mortality trends related to kidney disease and cardiovascular disease/heart failure in the US from 1999 to 2020. Here’s a summary of the key findings:
Abstract 1: Kidney Disease and Cardiovascular Death
Overall trend: Decreasing mortality trends for both Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) and Acute Renal Failure (ARF) related to cardiovascular causes.
Age: The 85+ age group had the highest mortality rates in both CKD and ARF.
Sex: Males had higher mortality rates in both CKD and ARF in 2020, with higher deaths in CKD. Race/Ethnicity: Non-Hispanic White patients had the highest mortality trends in both CKD and ARF.
Region: The Midwest had the highest mortality trends in CKD, while the South had increased mortality in ARF.
State: California had a high overall mortality rate from cardiovascular disease in both CKD and ARF. Alaska had a lower mortality rate for both.Abstract 2: Advanced CKD and Heart Failure Mortality
Overall Trend: AAMR for heart failure with advanced CKD increased substantially from 1999 to 2020, with a sharp surge after 2010.
Sex: Male patients had higher AAMRs compared to females.
* Race/Ethnicity: Non-Hispanic Black individuals had the highest AAMR.
In essence, the data suggests that while cardiovascular-related deaths in CKD and ARF may be decreasing heart failure-related deaths in advanced CKD are increasing. Critically important disparities exist based on age, sex, race/ethnicity, and geographic location.
