Abbreviations: ER+P, early referral and planned patients; ER+NP, early referral and non-planned patients; LR+P, late referral and planned patients; LR+NP, late referral and non-planned patients. PD, peritoneal dialysis; HD, hemodialysis; AVF, arterio-venous fistula. Figure represents a diagram of bars showing the different types of accesses at first dialysis session. Accesses were as follows for the total population: 34.5% AVF, 8% peritoneal catheter, 8.5% temporal hemodialysis catheter and 49% permanent HD catheter. For ER+P: 77% AVF, 21% peritoneal catheter, no temporal hemodialysis catheter and 2% permanent HD catheter. For ER+NP: 0.8% AVF, 2.6% peritoneal catheter, 9% temporal hemodialysis catheter and 88% permanent HD catheter. For LR+P: 89% AVF, 8% peritoneal catheter, no temporal hemodialysis catheter and 3% permanent HD catheter. For LR+NP: 0.4% AVF, 1% peritoneal catheter, 18% temporal hemodialysis catheter and 80% a permanent HD catheter.
