All-cause mortality due to conduction abnormalities in the United States: Sex, racial, and geographic variations from 1999 to 2022
Authors' conclusion
Mortality rates related to conduction abnormalities have increased over the past decade, and persistent disparities have been observed.

Deaths in 2020–2022
56,186
Males vs females, age-adjusted mortality rate (AAMR) in 2022 (1.5 times higher in males)
11.4 vs 7.0 per 100,000
Non-Hispanic Black vs non-Hispanic White, AAMR in 2022
13.7 vs 8.6 per 100,000
Observational data: associations, not effects.
Further findings
| Outcome | Values | Rate ratio |
|---|---|---|
| AAMR by sex · 2022Males vs Females · 1.5 times higher | Males AAMR 11.4 per 100,000 · Females AAMR 7.0 per 100,000 | 1.5 |
| AAMR by race/ethnicity · 2022Significantly higher in non-Hispanic Black patients | Non-Hispanic Black AAMR 13.7 per 100,000 · Non-Hispanic White AAMR 8.6 per 100,000 |
- AAMR by sex: males consistently higher throughout the past 2 decades
Mortality by urbanization · 1999–2022
- Persistently higher in rural and small- to medium-sized metropolitan areas than in large metropolitan urban areas
