Abstract
The impact of chronic kidney disease (CKD) on atrial fibrillation outcomes (AF) is not well understood. We conducted analyses of comorbid AF and CKD related death in the United States from 1999 to 2020 using descriptive epidemiology. 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. These findings highlight the need for interventions to address AF death disparities in patients with CKD.
