Patency rates of arteriovenous fistulas created before versus after hemodialysis initiation.

Patency rates of arteriovenous fistulas created before versus after hemodialysis initiation.

In an incident hemodialysis (HD) population, we aimed to investigate whether arteriovenous fistula (AVF) creation before HD initiation was associated with improved AVF patency compared with AVF creation from a central venous catheter (CVC), and also to compare patient survival between these patients...
