Demographic and regional disparities in acute kidney injury-related heart failure mortality among American adults from 1999 to 2023: A retrospective cohort study using the CDC WONDER database
database[Title] 2025-12-16
Summary:
CONCLUSION: While overall AAMRs were higher in 2023 compared to 1999, the sharpest rise was seen post-2020 after a period of relative stability from 2010 to 2019. AKI-related HF mortality remains disproportionately high among men, NH Blacks, and residents of the Midwestern and rural United States, highlighting the necessity of focused initiatives to address inequities and lower mortality.
