Comparative analysis of ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke hospitalization rates in end-stage kidney disease and kidney transplant patients with and without atrial fibrillation
Our findings reveal patterns in hospitalization rates between ESKD and KTx patients with AF compared to those without AF, with ESKD patients with AF exhibiting higher rates of ischemic stroke compared to ESKD patients without AF and KTx patients with AF showing increased hospitalizations for hemorrhagic stroke compared to those without AF. These findings demonstrate the impact of AF on hospitalization rates for ischemic and hemorrhagic cerebrovascular events in both ESKD and KTx patients.
