1 Patients started on hemodialysis with tunneled dialysis catheter have similar survival after arteriovenous fistula and arteriovenous graft creation  Theodore H. Yuo, MD, MSc, Rabih A. Chaer, MD, MSc, Ellen D. Dillavou, MD, Steven A. Leers, MD, Michel S.

3 Fig 2 Kaplan-Meier survival curves, stratified by age groups, comparing attempts at access creation among patients who started with tunneled dialysis catheter (TDC; N = 138,245): younger than 65 years (A), 65 to 79 years (B), and 80+ years (C). Time to event does not include initial 90-day mortality exclusion period. Standard error is <10% at all time points. Number at risk is denoted beneath each Kaplan-Meier survival curve.

4 Fig 3 Hazard ratio of mortality after placement of arteriovenous fistula (AVF) compared with arteriovenous graft (AVG) in patients starting hemodialysis (HD) with a tunneled dialysis catheter (TDC), as a function of predialysis albumin level in patients older than 80 years. Hazard ratios are estimated from proportional hazards models with adjustment for available covariates. The dashed line indicates 95% confidence intervals.
