| 초록 | Objectives : Catheter use as a permanent vascular access for hemodialysis is known to be associated with the poor patient`s outcomes. However, the effect on patient`s outcome by prolonged catheter use prior to AVF or AVG has not known yet. Methods : Total 36963 HD patients with AVF or AVG as their permanent vascular access from Korean Society Nephrology registry were analyzed in the current study. The group with prolonged catheter use ( >1 year) prior AVF or AVG and without it were compared. Results : In baseline characteristics, Compared with the other group without prolonged catheter use (n=36860), the prevalence of HDF (vs. HD) in the group with prolonged catheter use (n=103) was lower (8.7 vs. 20.0 %; p =0.004), but AVG prevalence as the final vascular access was higher (22.3 vs. 15.3 %; p =0.05), otherwise unremarkable. The patient survival between these two groups were comparable (p =0.21). These two groups were compared again after propensity score matching for the precise comparison. Even after matching, the patients` survival in the group with prolonged catheter use prior to AVF or AVF was comparable compared with the other group without it (p =0.11). Conclusions : Our study suggests that AVF or AVG placement should be considered strenuously anytime in the hemodialysis patients dependent on catheter for prolonged time. |
