Self-reported chronic kidney disease and the risk of all-cause and cause-specific mortality: outcome-wide association study of 54 causes of death in the National Health Interview Survey.

ABSTRACT:

Background

A diagnosis of chronic kidney disease has been strongly associated with cardiovascular disease and mortality in a number of studies, but the association with specific causes of death has not been assessed in detail. We analysed the association between chronic kidney disease and all-cause mortality and 54 causes of death in the National Health Interview Survey, a prospective study of 210,748 US adults.

Methods

We used multivariable Cox regression models to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for all-cause and cause-specific mortality associated with self-reported chronic kidney disease. Men and women aged 18-84 years were recruited between 1997 and 2004 and followed up for mortality through December 31, 2006.
