Abstract

Background The epidemiology of atrial fibrillation (AF) has been mainly investigated in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD), with limited data on less advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD) stages. Methods A total of 3267 adult participants (50% non-Hispanic blacks, 46% females) with CKD from the Chronic Renal Insufficiency Cohort (CRIC) were included in this study. None of the study participants had been on dialysis. Those with self-identified race/ethnicity other than non-Hispanic black or white (N=323) or those without ECG data (N=22) were excluded. AF was ascertained by a 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) and self-report. Age- sex- race/ethnicity-specific prevalence rates of AF were estimated and compared between subgroups. Cross sectional associations and correlates with prevalent AF were examined using unadjusted and multivariable adjusted logistic regression analysis. Results The mean estimated glomerular filtration rate (GFR) was 43.6 (±13.0) ml/min/1.73 m2. AF was present in 18% of the study population and in more than 25% of those 70 years or older. In multivariable adjusted models, 1-SD increase in age (11 years) [odds ratio (OR) and CI 95%: 1.27 (1.13, 1.43), P<0.0001], female sex [0.80 (0.65, 0.98), P=0.0303], smoking (former vs. never) [1.34 (1.08, 1.66), P= 0.0081], history of heart failure [3.28 (2.47, 4.36), P<0.001], and history of cardiovascular disease [1.94 (1.56, 2.43), P<0.0001] were significantly associated with AF. Race/ethnicity, hypertension, diabetes, body mass index, physical activity, education, high sensitivity C-reactive protein, total cholesterol, and alcohol intake were not significantly associated with AF. An estimated GFR <45 ml/min/1.73 m2 was associated with AF in an unadjusted model [1.35 (1.13–1.62)); P=0.0010)], but not after multivariable adjustment [1.12 (0.92– 1.35), P=0.2710]. Conclusions Nearly one in five participants in CRIC, a national study of CKD, had evidence for AF at study entry, a prevalence similar to that reported among patients with ESRD and 2–3 times of that reported in the general population. Risk factors for AF in this CKD population do not mirror those reported in the general population.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
