Trial summary

The arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is the preferred vascular access for hemodialysis(HD), and fistula-first is the general recommendation for all HD patients. But in clinical practice in China, quite a few patients start HD before AVF maturation due to various situations. Read more about this study

About this study

The arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is the preferred vascular access for hemodialysis(HD), and fistula-first is the general recommendation for all HD patients. But in clinical practice in China, quite a few patients start HD before AVF maturation due to various situations. Whether HD initiation with mature AVF will influence the patency and complications is controversial. This study is aim to compare the AVF patency in incident HD patients with mature or immature AVF on HD initiation, and to compare other clinical outcomes, including abandonment without use, infection, and other AVF complications occurrence.

Being tested
AVF puncture

What participants receive

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. AVF patency

    A functional AVF was defined as allowing at least six adequate HD sessions without any AVF-related complications. Primary AVF patency was defined as the interval from HD initiation via a functional AVF to any intervention designed for maintenance or reestablishment of AVF function, AVF failure, or study end, whichever occurred first, and secondary AVF patency was defined as the interval from HD initiation via an AVF until the termination of HD via AVF due to any cause, regardless of the number of subsequent interventions.

    Measured: June 2020 to June 2021

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Abandonment without use, infection, and other complications of AVF creation.

    Abandonment without use, infection, and other complications of AVF creation.

    Measured: June 2020 to June 2021

Contact bo shen, MD (+86-13795307471, shen.bo@zs-hospital.sh.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

AVF patency (time frame: June 2020 to June 2021). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
