Analysis of patency rates and factors associated with arteriovenous fistula in maintenance hemodialysis patients followed for 10 years.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This study analyzed the long-term arteriovenous fistula (AVF) patency rate and its determinants in patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis.

Methods

General data and laboratory examinations of hemodialysis patients were collected retrospectively. The primary patency time, primary functional patency time, cumulative patency time, cumulative functional patency time, and temporary central venous catheterization (CVC) time were counted. Cox regression was used to analyze the relationships between different factors and AVF survival time. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was used to analyze the primary patency, primary functional patency, cumulative patency, and cumulative functional patency rates between different groups.

Results

A total of 174 patients were in
