Variations in Outcomes of
Hemodialysis Vascular Access by Race/Ethnicity in the Elderly |
| Race and ethnicity based variations in the elderly on outcomes after hemodialysis access placement are not well known. |
| Retrospective multi-center study using the United States Medicare Outpatient, Inpatient and Carrier files |
| The 12 month outcomes in 16,402 patients undergoing placement of av fistula and av graft were inferior in black and hispanic patients compared to white patients. |
| This study suggests that further investigation is necessary to understand why blacks and hispanics have inferior outcomes compared to whites after av access placement. |
