Official Title: Optimizing Access Surgery In Senior Hemodialysis Patients: a Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial of Fistulas, Grafts, and Catheters
Brief Summary:
The number of elderly hemodialysis patients is growing.Vascular access complications are a major determinant of the quality of life and health care costs for these vulnerable patients.The three different types of vascular access, i.e. autologous arteriovenous fistulas, arteriovenous grafts, and central venous catheters, have never been compared in randomized controlled trials.This project will deliver the much-needed evidence to determine the optimal strategy for vascular access creation in elderly hemodialysis…
