BACKGROUND: Thrombosis of arteriovenous fistulas represents a prevalent complication among patients undergoing hemodialysis, characterized by a notably high incidence rate. Presently, there is an absence of robust assessment tools capable of predicti...
BACKGROUND: Arteriovenous fistula stenosis is a common complication in hemodialysis patients, yet effective predictive tools are lacking. This study aims to develop an interpretable machine learning model for stenosis risk prediction.
BACKGROUND: Heart failure is common in patients receiving hemodialysis. A high-flow arteriovenous fistula (AVF) may represent a modifiable risk factor for heart failure and death. Currently, no tools exist to assess the risk of developing a high-flow...

The early detection of arteriovenous (AV) access dysfunction is crucial for maintaining the patency of vascular access. This study aimed to use deep learning to predict AV access malfunction necessitating further vascular management. This prospecti...
End-stage kidney disease (ESKD) presents a significant public health challenge, with hemodialysis (HD) remaining one of the most prevalent kidney replacement therapies. Ensuring the longevity and functionality of arteriovenous accesses is challenging...
INTRODUCTION: Autogenous arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is the preferred vascular access in patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis (MHD). However, complications such as thrombosis may occur. This study aimed to construct and validate a machine lea...
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. ...
OBJECTIVE: Kidney Disease Outcomes Quality Initiative (KDOQI) guidelines discourage ongoing access salvage attempts after two interventions prior to successful use or more than three interventions per year overall. The goal was to develop a tool for ...
BACKGROUND: Arteriovenous fistulae (AVF) and Arteriovenous Grafts (AVG) may present a problematic vascular access for renal replacement therapy (RRT), reliant on recurrent specialist nurse and medical evaluation. Dysfunctional accesses are frequently...
BACKGROUND: Arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is the preferred vascular access (VA) for hemodialysis, but it is associated with high non-maturation and failure rates. Predicting patient-specific AVF maturation and postoperative changes in blood flow volume...
