Should the Arteriovenous Fistula Be Created before Starting Dialysis?: A Decision Analytic Approach
BACKGROUND An arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is considered the vascular access of choice, but uncertainty exists about the optimal time for its creation in pre-dialysis patients. The aim of this study was to determine the optimal vascular access referral strategy for stage 4 (glomerular filtration rate <30 ml/min/1.73 m(2)) chronic kidney disease patients using a decision analytic framework. MET...
متن کاملProstate cancer staging: should MR imaging be used?--A decision analytic approach.
PURPOSE To determine the appropriate use of magnetic resonance (MR) imaging for preoperative staging of prostate cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS Literature review was performed by using the principles of evidence-based medicine and medical technology assessment. A decision analytic model was used to compare (a) the strategy that radical prostatectomy is performed on the basis of clinical stagin...
متن کاملSpinal dural arteriovenous fistula : a case report
Background: Spinal dural AVF is the most common type of spinal vascular malformation. However, presenting symptoms differ according to site of spinal involvement. This study described a case of arteriovenous malformation with paraparesis and incontinence. Case Presentation: Diagnosis of patient was confirmed by clinical and imaging examination using magnetic resonance image and ruling out ot...
متن کاملBedside screening for fistula stenosis should be tailored to the site of the arteriovenous anastomosis.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Given different sites of stenosis and access blood flow rates (Qa), the criteria for diagnosing fistula stenosis might vary according to anastomotic site. To test this, we analyzed the database of a prospective blinded study seeking an optimal bedside screening program for fistula stenosis. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS Several methods used during dia...
متن کاملEffect of haemodynamic variables on surgically created arteriovenous fistula flow.
BACKGROUND The immediate success and flow rate of a newly constructed arteriovenous fistula is dependent on several haemodynamic factors affecting the inflow and outflow of the fistula. METHODS In this study we evaluated the effect of preoperative arterial blood pressure, arterial inflow, subclavian venous flow, and operative venous outflow resistance on the immediate success, with special re...
