WCN25-2170 IMPACT OF EDUCATIONAL INTERVENTION FOR PERMANENT ACCESS CREATION AND MORTALITY REDUCTION AMONG PATIENTS ON MAINTENANCE HEMODIALYSIS IN LOW RESOURCE SETTINGS
Mortality during the first 90 days on chronic hemodialysis is several folds higher than the period before and after it. In low-resource settings, these are compounded due to a combination of poor pre-end-stage kidney disease care, emergency initiation of hemodialysis, delay in permanent access creation, severe anemia and inadequate dialysis. Hence, we conducted this study to assess the effect of educational intervention for facilitating permanent vascular access creation and mortality reduction among patients on maintenance hemodialysis.
