Résumé

Arteriovenous-fistula (AVF) are crucial for hemodialysis access, yet they frequently experience early failure. While studies have identified potential patient and clinical risk factors, these findings remain inconsistent. This inconsistency might be attributed to the varying definitions of "early failure". Our retrospective cohort study aimed to evaluate how common risk factors predict four frequently early-failure criteria: thrombosis/stenosis, <500 ml/min blood flow, <5 mm vein diameter, and ≥6 mm deep vein. We also assessed how well these risk factors predict early failure defined as meeting at least one of these criteria. Additionally, we examined the predictive ability of vein-distensibility, a previously overlooked factor in AVF failure.
