Initial vascular access type and associated factors among incident haemodialysis patients: a multicentre retrospective observational study.

Article C Peer reviewed Observational

Key takeaways

This study looked at 1,221 people who started dialysis in China. It checked if they started with a fistula or a catheter. This is an observational study, so it shows a link between patient factors and the type of access used, but it does not prove cause and effect.
