Aortic Stenosis in End-Stage Renal Disease: Incidence, Prevalence, and Mortality in a National Korean Cohort.

ABSTRACT: Background/Objectives: Aortic stenosis (AS) is an increasingly recognized end-stage renal disease (ESRD) complication. This study aimed to identify AS incidence and prevalence in Korean patients with ESRD, assess the effect of AS on all-cause mortality, and determine associated risk factors unique to this population. Methods: This retrospective study used Korean National Health Insurance Service data from 2009 to 2021 and included adult patients with ESRD undergoing maintenance dialysis. AS was identified based on diagnostic codes, and 4:1 propensity score matching was conducted. Temporal trends in AS incidence and prevalence were analyzed in terms of sex and age. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and Cox proportional hazards models were employed for all-cause mortality assessme
