Antiplatelet Medications in Hemodialysis Patients: A Systematic Review of Bleeding Rates
TL;DR: Until a clinical trial addresses this in the dialysis population, individual risk stratification taking into account the increased risk of bleeding should be considered before initiating antiplatelet agents, especially in combination therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of regional versus local anaesthesia on outcome after arteriovenous fistula creation: a randomised controlled trial
Emma Aitken,Andrew Jackson,Rachel J. Kearns,Rachel J. Kearns,Mark Steven,John Kinsella,John Kinsella,Marc Clancy,Alan J. R. Macfarlane,Alan J. R. Macfarlane +9 more
TL;DR: Compared with local anaesthesia, BPB significantly improved 3 month primary patency rates for arteriovenous fistula patency in adults undergoing primary radiocephalic or brachial plexus block creation.

Therapeutic strategies to combat neointimal hyperplasia in vascular grafts.
Michael J. Collins,Xin Li,Wei Lv,Chenzi Yang,Clinton D. Protack,Akihito Muto,Caroline C. Jadlowiec,Chang Shu,Alan Dardik +8 more
TL;DR: The pathophysiologic pathways that underlie the formation of NIH in both vein and synthetic grafts are summarized and current and potential mechanical and molecular approaches under investigation that may limit NIH in vascular grafts is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Achieving the Goal of the Fistula First Breakthrough Initiative for Prevalent Maintenance Hemodialysis Patients
TL;DR: There is a need to decrease regional variation before the CMS goal of 66% prevalent AVF use can be fully realized for US HD facilities, and the national scope of the initiative precludes use of a comparison group.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fistula First Initiative: Historical Impact on Vascular Access Practice Patterns and Influence on Future Vascular Access Care
TL;DR: The evolution of the FFBI should underscore the need for multidisciplinary health teams with a major emphasis placed on “the right access for the right patient” and improving the patient’s overall quality of life.

Statistical Aspects of the Analysis of Data From Retrospective Studies of Disease
Nathan Mantel,William Haenszel +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the role and limitations of retrospective investigations of factors possibly associated with the occurrence of a disease are discussed and their relationship to forward-type studies emphasized, and examples of situations in which misleading associations could arise through the use of inappropriate control groups are presented.
Book
Group Sequential Methods with Applications to Clinical Trials
TL;DR: A short history of sequential and group sequential methods can be found in this paper, where the authors present a road map for the application of two-sided tests for comparing two treatments with normal response of known variance.

Increasing arteriovenous fistulas in hemodialysis patients: Problems and solutions
Michael Allon,Michelle L. Robbin +1 more
TL;DR: Implementing these measures is likely to increase the prevalence of fistulas in any given dialysis unit, however, differences among dialysis units are likely to persist because of differences in gender, race, and co-morbidity mix of the patient population.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hemodialysis vascular access morbidity.
TL;DR: To reduce vascular access-related morbidity, strategies must be developed not only to prevent and detect appropriately early synthetic vascular access dysfunction, but to better identify the patients in a whom radial arteriovenous fistula is a viable clinical option.
Journal ArticleDOI
Aggressive treatment of early fistula failure
TL;DR: If correctable pathology is detected in patients with early fistula failure, the incidence of correctable lesions is relatively high and an aggressive therapeutic approach can be expected to have a high yield.
