Figure 3. — Barriers to CKD patients initiating dialysis with an AVF.

Note. Survey respondents were provided with a list of possible barriers to AVF creation/utilization and asked whether they agreed or disagreed that each statement was a barrier at their center. Bars represent the proportion of respondents who agreed with each statement. All statements had a response rate of 100% (84 of 84). CKD = chronic kidney disease; AVF = arteriovenous fistula; CVC = central venous catheter.
