Patterns and outcomes of vascular access in hemodialysis: a nationwide registry-based study from Romania
The high CVC use at HD initiation underscores the need for improved CKD diagnosis and pre-dialysis nephrology care in Romania. Early AVF placement or timely conversion from CVC to AVF significantly enhances survival. These findings support a patient-centered approach to vascular access, emphasizing tailored care and enhanced pre-dialysis planning to optimize outcomes.
