Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Failure-to-mature and early stenosis remains the Achille's heel of hemodialysis arteriovenous fistula (AVF) creation. The maturation and patency of an AVF can be influenced by a variety of demographic, comorbidity, and anatomical factors. This study aims to review the prediction models of AVF maturation and patency with various risk scores and machine learning models.
