Analysis of risk factors for late arteriovenous fistula failure and patency rates after angioplasty in hemodialysis patients: a retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The incidence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) is increasing worldwide. Hemodialysis (HD) is the mainstay of renal replacement therapy for patients with ESKD. Risk factors associated with late arteriovenous fistula (AVF) failure in HD patients are poorly investigated. Therefore, the aim of this study was to identify factors associated with late AVF failure in HD patients.

Methods

Patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) who underwent forearm or upper arm AVF angioplasty at Second Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University between September 2009 and August 2018 were included. Patients were followed up for 36 months. Baseline characteristics were collected using electronic medical records (EMRs). Variables associated w
