Abstract
BACKGROUND: The impact of chronic kidney disease (CKD) on atrial fibrillation outcomes (AF) is not well understood.
METHODS: We conducted analyses of comorbid AF and CKD related death in the United States from 1999 to 2020 using descriptive epidemiology.
RESULTS: Age-adjusted mortality rates (AAMR) per 100,000 increased from 0.39 in 1999 to 1.65 in 2020. Non-Hispanic populations (1.01) and nonmetropolitan areas (1.08) had higher AAMRs compared to Hispanic (0.62) and metropolitan (0.97) areas. Midwestern (1.11) and Western (1.13) US regions recorded the highest AAMRs.
CONCLUSIONS: These findings highlight the need for interventions to address AF death disparities in patients with CKD.
