The Prognostic Significance of Puncture Timing to Survival of Arteriovenous Fistulas in Hemodialysis Patients: A Multicenter Retrospective Cohort Study

The Prognostic Significance of Puncture Timing to Survival of Arteriovenous Fistulas in Hemodialysis Patients: A Multicenter Retrospective Cohort Study

(1) Background: A functional shunt is critical to hemodialysis, but the ideal timing of shunt cannulation is still not established. In this study, we assessed the association between ideal puncture timing and shunt survival. (2) Methods: This retrospective cohort study using data from the Taiwan Hea...
