The proportion of women initiating KRT was lower in Europe (35%) than in the USA (41%). Between 2013 and 2022, the KRT incidence in Europe was stable in women (+0.1% annually) but increased in men (+1.1%). In the USA, the KRT incidence increased similarly in women (+0.2%) and men (+0.3%). On 31 December 2022, the KRT prevalence was 2-fold (women 2.2-fold, men 1.9-fold) higher in the USA (2444.2\u00a0pmp) than in Europe (1218.6\u00a0pmp). The proportion of women was lower in Europe (38%) than in the USA (41%). The kidney transplantation rate was 1.7-fold higher in the USA (79.1\u00a0pmp) than in Europe (45.4\u00a0pmp), 1.9-fold for women and 1.7-fold for men, with women accounting for 37% of the recipients versus 39% in the USA. The KRT mortality rate was 1.5 times higher in the USA [145.0 per 1000\u00a0patient-years (py)] compared with Europe (100.5 per 1000\u00a0py): 1.6-fold for women and 1.4-fold for men. In Europe, mortality was lower for women receiving KRT (93.7 per 1000\u00a0py) than for men (104.6 per 1000\u00a0py), whereas in the USA the reverse was true (women 148.9 per 1000\u00a0py, men 142.2 per 1000\u00a0py).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The US had a notably higher KRT incidence, prevalence, kidney transplantation rate and mortality compared with Europe.
