Hemodialysis International Aug 14, 2021
Tabinor M, Crowley LE, Godlee A, et al. - End-stage kidney disease (ESKD) patients with COVID-19 who belonged to Black, Asian or minority ethnicities (BAME) were just over twice as likely to die compared with White patients; this was observed even after adjustment for age, deprivation, comorbidity, and frailty.
During the 8-week observation period, 191 of 3,379 ESKD patients contracted COVID-19; 84% hemodialysis, 5% peritoneal dialysis, and 11% kidney transplant recipients (KTR).
The case fatality rate of 29% was recorded.
BAME was noted to be linked with all-cause mortality
