A validated, patient-important outcome measure for VA function that can be easily measured in research and practice to harvest reliable and relevant evidence for informing patient-centered HD care is lacking. Vascular Access outcome measure for function: a vaLidation study In hemoDialysis (VALID) aims to assess the accuracy and feasibility of measuring a core outcome for VA function established by the international Standardized Outcomes in Nephrology (SONG) initiative.<h4>Methods</h4>VALID is a prospective, multi-center, multinational validation study that will assess the accuracy and feasibility of BMC nephrologyStudy protocol for Vascular Access outcome measure for function: a vaLidation study In hemoDialysis (VALID) : A multi-center, multinational validation study to assess the accuracy and feasibility of measuring vascular access function in clinical practice.PMC96752111196033Gordon LYuo THFahim MAVergara LAAbidin JCiochina AValks AGillis LYusoff YMGiunzioni DBlackwell CJames RJohnson DWSautenet BTeixeira-Pinto ATordoir JTeasdale FFerrari PCho YBurton SJardine MLeng LSMcCarthy KLok CVleugels MJYang BJaure ABourgault OJiun LWDunn LHooi LSBadve SVKiriwandeniya CVanholder RSnoeijs MRobison LWelch AMolfese CBBoudville NHawley CMOphelders RKiang CJGlancy LBrodeur MEZou LCippa PEStevenson KForrester CMayne MReidlinger DMallard ARLima SMadhan KLiu WJJenkins SBaer Rvan Loon MKopperschmidt PViecelli AKCherian RKumbikkal JDeSilva RWilkie MVALID Investigator TeamPolkinghorne KRCampbell KDrouault COliver VAllen KSmith RVu QRoberts MGray BVachharajani TJDu Toit DCraig JCCollins MLee TQuinn RRfalseStudy protocol for Vascular Access outcome measure for function: a vaLidation study In hemoDialysis (VALID) : A multi-center, multinational validation study to assess the accuracy and feasibility of measuring vascular access function in clinical practice.<h4>Background</h4>A functioning vascular access (VA) is crucial to providing adequate hemodialysis (HD) and considered a critically important outcome by patients and healthcare professionals.
