Brief Summary

We wish to examine Arterio-Venous Fistula (AVF) and Arterio-Venous Graft (AVG) utilisation rates for Haemodialysis at University Hospital Limerick. We want to determine out of the AVF's that are surgically created, how many go on to be used as anticipated for haemodialysis treatments successfully.

Conditions

Arterio-venous Fistula

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Number of AVF's created

  We will determine how many were created surgically during the time frame.

  3 years

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• AVF's in use for the purpose of Haemodialysis

  3 years

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 18 Years+
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: No
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
• Sampling Method: Probability Sample

Study Population

All patients who had an AVF or AVG surgically created over the last three years at UHL who are undergoing haemodialysis treatments are suitable for inclusion. Dates for audit purposes are 1st April 2019 to 1st April 2022.

You may qualify if:

• Dates for audit purposes are 1st April 2019 to 1st April 2022.

You may not qualify if:

• Patients outside of these set dates will be excluded.
• Patients who are not currently undergoing haemodialysis treatments are excluded.
