2002
Abstract National Kidney Foundation-Dialysis Outcomes Quality Initiative (NKF-DOQI) Vascular Access Guidelines 29 (40% of prevalent patients should have a native fistula) and 30 ( P = 0.002) for AV grafts, 13.6 ( P P tunneled catheters > AV grafts > AV fistulae). Furthermore, they strongly support the role of these NKF-DOQI guidelines in preventing infectious complications attributed to vascular access. © 2002 by the National Kidney Foundation, Inc.
