Trend analysis of dialysis prevalence, incidence, and mortality rates at the end of 2024

Key Points

• This research aims to analyze the trends in dialysis prevalence, incidence, and mortality rates in chronic dialysis patients by the end of 2024.
• Analyzed dialysis prevalence and incidence rates at the end of 2024, excluding patients under 30 years old.
• Examined trends in mortality rates across different age groups, focusing on those aged 75 and above.
• Assessed the impact of COVID-19 on mortality rates and infection-related deaths.
• Dialysis prevalence decreased across all age groups except for those under 30, continuing a trend post-COVID-19.
• Incidence rates also decreased, particularly significant in those aged 75 and older, with a shift to a declining trend.
• Mortality rates remained stable or slightly increased overall, with notable increases in deaths due to infections, including sepsis and pneumonia.
