Association of arteriovenous fistula versus arteriovenous graft with risk of hospitalization

Hospitalization	Crude RR (AVG Cohort Reference) with 95% CI	P Value	Adjusted RR (AVG Cohort Reference) with 95% CI	P Value
All cause infection	0.93 (0.88 to 0.99)	0.02	0.93 (0.87 to 0.99)	0.01
Vascular access related	0.95 (0.80 to 1.13)	0.57	0.96 (0.80 to 1.14)	0.61
Bacteremia/septicemia	0.90 (0.82 to 0.98)	0.02	0.90 (0.82 to 0.98)	0.02
Cardiovascular disease related	0.96 (0.90 to 1.02)	0.22	0.95 (0.89 to 1.02)	0.17

Adjusted by age, sex, and race by using a negative binomial regression. RR, (incidence) rate ratio; AVG, arteriovenous graft; 95% CI, 95% confidence interval.
