Why the study?
Does male sex increase the risk of mortality and CKD progression compared to female sex?
Does male sex increase the risk of mortality and CKD progression compared to female sex?
In a Swedish nationwide study, men demonstrated higher rates of cardiovascular and all-cause mortality, as well as faster CKD progression, compared to women.
Male sex was associated with higher CKD mortality and progression; leaves open whether sex-specific strategies improve outcomes.
Compared to women, men had a higher rate of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality, an increased risk of CKD progression, and a steeper decline in eGFR.
