1 Hemodialysis arteriovenous fistula as first option not necessary in elderly patients 
Jie Cui, MD, David Steele, MD, Julia Wenger, MPH, Tatsuo Kawai, MD, PhD, Fengyong Liu, MD, Nahel Elias, MD, Michael T. Watkins, MD, Zubin Irani, MD  Journal of Vascular Surgery  Volume 63, Issue 5, Pages (May 2016) DOI: /j.jvs Copyright © 2016 Society for Vascular Surgery Terms and Conditions

2 Fig 1 The primary failure rate (A), percentage of patients who required procedures to achieve access maturation (B), and catheter-dependent time after access creation (C) between the arteriovenous fistula (AVF) and arteriovenous graft (AVG) groups.

3 Fig 2 The primary (A) and secondary (B) patency rates of fistulas and grafts in elderly patients were comparable. SE, Standard error. Journal of Vascular Surgery  , DOI: ( /j.jvs ) Copyright © 2016 Society for Vascular Surgery Terms and Conditions

4 Fig 3 The primary (A) and secondary (B) patency rates of arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) and arteriovenous grafts (AVGs) in different locations were not statistically significant. ∗Number at risk where the standard error (SE) exceeds 10%. FF, Fistula forearm; FU, fistula upper arm; GF, graft forearm; GU, graft upper arm. Journal of Vascular Surgery  , DOI: ( /j.jvs ) Copyright © 2016 Society for Vascular Surgery Terms and Conditions

5 Fig 4 The primary (A and B) and secondary (C and D) patency rates of arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) and arteriovenous grafts (AVGs) in different age groups were comparable. ∗Number at risk where the standard error (SE) exceeds 10%.

6 Fig 5 All-cause mortality rates after access creation were comparable in the arteriovenous fistula (AVF) and arteriovenous graft (AVG) groups (A), the different access locations (B), and the different age groups (C). ∗Number at risk where the standard error (SE) exceeds 10%. FF, Fistula forearm; FU, fistula upper arm; GF, graft forearm; GU, graft upper arm. Journal of Vascular Surgery  , DOI: ( /j.jvs ) Copyright © 2016 Society for Vascular Surgery Terms and Conditions
