      BackgroundCongenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract (CAKUT) is associated with a slower progression to end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in pre-dialysis patients. However, little is known about the associated mortality risks after transitioning to dialysis.MethodsThis retrospective cohort study included 0-21 year-old incident dialysis patients from the United States Renal Data System starting dialysis between 1995 and 2016. We examined the association of CAKUT vs. non-CAKUT with all-cause mortality, using Cox regression adjusted for case mix variables. We also examined the mortality risk associated with 14 non-CAKUT vs. CAKUT ESRD etiologies and under stratification by estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR).ResultsAmong 25,761 patients, the median (interquartile range) age was 17 (11-19) years, and 4780 (19%) had CAKUT. CAKUT was associated with lower mortality, with an adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) of 0.72 (95%CI, 0.64-0.81) (reference: non-CAKUT). In age-stratified analyses, CAKUT vs. non-CAKUT aHRs (95%CI) were 0.66 (0.54-0.80), 0.56 (0.39-0.80), 0.66 (0.50-0.86), and 0.97 (0.80-1.18) among patients
