cancer-related (7.8%), with 61.2% unknown, whereas using the CKD-EPI equation, cardiac (14.5%) and cerebrovascular (9.3%) causes predominated, and 64.5% were undetermined.Conclusion: CKD was linked to higher mortality, primarily due to cardiac causes.Mortality risk rose with age, lower baseline kidney function, and alcohol use, whereas farming was protective.Slight survival variations across eGFR equations underscore the need for standardized eGFR equations.I have no potential conflict of interest to disclose.I did not use generative AI and AI-assisted technologies in the writing process.
