Racial Disparities in End-Stage Kidney Disease Outcomes Among Asians and Native Hawaiians and Other Pacific Islanders Across Geographic Residence

CONCLUSION: In the Mainland, Asians and NHOPIs had lower mortality vs. White patients, whereas in Hawaii/PIs this survival benefit was diminished in Asians and mitigated in NHOPIs. NHOPIs and Asians in Hawaii/PIs had less transplantation vs. those in the Mainland. Further research is needed to uncover factors contributing to differential ESKD outcomes among Asians and NHOPIs across geographic residence.PMID:37725913 | DOI:10.1159/000534052
