Estimated Pulse Wave Velocity Is Associated With All-Cause Mortality and Cardiovascular Mortality Among Adults With Chronic Kidney Disease.

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to assess the correlation between estimated pulse wave velocity (ePWV) and mortality rates related to all-cause and cardiovascular disease (CVD) among individuals diagnosed with chronic kidney disease (CKD) in the United States. A total of 4669 participants with CKD were identified from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey conducted between 1999 and 2018. We calculated the incidence of CKD using an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of < 60 mL/min/1.73 m². Our study examined the association between ePWV and mortality risk based on weighted Kaplan-Meier plots and multivariate Cox regression. Linear testing between ePWV and mortality from all causes and CVD was performed using restricted cubic splines and Cox regression. This study include
