HEHiroki Ejiri KTKenichi Tanaka HKHiroshi Kimura

Key Points

This study investigates the one-year patency rates of arteriovenous fistulas in Japanese patients undergoing hemodialysis and identifies associated clinical factors.
Single-center retrospective analysis of Japanese patients with arteriovenous fistulas for hemodialysis.
Evaluation of clinical factors influencing AVF patency rates over one year.
Focus on specific patient demographics and health conditions.
One-year AVF patency rates were noted with specific clinical factors strongly influencing outcomes.
Increased age and the presence of comorbid conditions correlated with lower AVF patency.
Statistical analysis demonstrated significant variations in patency rates across different clinical profiles.

Abstract

Introduction:Adequate vascular access is essential for stable hemodialysis treatment. Several clinical factors have been reported to affect arteriovenous fistula (AVF) patency;however, data focusing on Japanese patients remain limited. This study aimed to evaluate one-year AVF patency rates and associated clinical factors in Japanese patients.
