Brief Summary

Our study aim was to utilize a decision tree analysis (DTA) model to gain insight into the decision-making process within a multiple-center cohort.

Study Population

chronic kidney disease (CKD) and were in the pre-kidney replacement therapy (pre-KRT) stage, requiring their first hemodialysis (HD) AV access creatio

You may qualify if:

• \- adult patients between the ages of 18 and 80 who were referred for primary hemodialysis (HD) AV access creation. We included those in the pre-kidney replacement therapy (pre-KRT) stage and those who in the early end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) urgently started HD without sufficient time to plan for AV access

You may not qualify if:

• \- patients who underwent a secondary AV access surgery, like a transposed radiobasilic AVF or a revision of AVG.
