Key clinical point: Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), particularly older adults and women, had a modestly reduced risk of developing migraine over a 16-year follow-up period.
Major finding: During the 16-year follow-up, patients with vs without CKD had an 11% lower risk for migraine (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] 0.89; P = .006), with the risk being prominently lower among older adults (age ≥ 70 years; aHR 0.69; P < .001) and women (aHR 0.84; P = .006).
Study details: This nationwide, 16-year longitudinal follow-up study included 15,443 participants with CKD, of whom 349 (2.26%) had migraine, and 61,772 participants without CKD, of whom 1901 (3.08%) had migraine.
