Time to first AV access creation for patients switching from PD to HD. (A) All patients and by (B) sex, (C) age category, and (D) HD start period. These analyses only included patients without a history of AV access creation in the period prior to HD start. Patients were censored at death, dialysis withdrawal, and treatment change. P calculated using marginal Cox model. Below each curve is the number of AV access creations by each time point. “Ttl pts” refers to the number of patients in each group regardless of whether they had an AV access creation. Small cell sizes with less than 6 patients were suppressed per ICES privacy rules.
