Optimal treatment planning under consideration of patient heterogeneity and preparation lead-time
TL;DR: This thesis addresses the question of whether and when to perform AVF surgery on patients with CKD with the aim of finding individualized policies that optimize patient outcomes and develops a dynamic programming model that incorporates patient heterogeneity in disease progression when making clinical decisions.

Safety of brachial arteriogram using a 3-French dilator to evaluate nonmaturing arteriovenous fistulae.
Tushar J. Vachharajani,Arif Asif +1 more
TL;DR: Nonmaturing arteriovenous fistula remains a hurdle in improving the fistula rate in the hemodialysis population and timely referral can assist in salvaging fistula with endovascular interventions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Maturing arteriovenous accesses in incident haemodialysis patients and first-year outcomes:
TL;DR: Patients initiating haemodialysis with unready arteriovenous fistulas or grafts were associated with enhanced first-year survival and increased opportunity for working arterio venous fistula or grafting, which may reflect pre-dialysis decision-making, quality of care and comorbid diseases.
Patency and Complication Rates of the Arteriovenous Fistula: A Systematic Review
TL;DR: This paper aims to provide a chronology of the events that led to and culminated in the publication of the first book in the series, “On the Road to Serengeti: Foundations of a Journals” (2003).
Journal ArticleDOI
AVF Immaturity: Impact upon Success of the Fistula First Initiative:
TL;DR: Leadership including hospital administrative support, crisis vs. planed dialysis access management style, and communication skills between team members are studied.

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.

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.
