October 20, 2014 updated by: Changlin Mei, Shanghai Changzheng Hospital

Vascular Access Choice and Outcomes in the Elderly and Very Elderly With End Stage Renal Disease in China :a Multicenter Prospective Cohort Study

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the clinical outcomes and cost-effectiveness of different vascular access(arteriovenous fistula, tunneled cuffed catheter and arteriovenous graft) in the elderly and very elderly with end-stage renal disease in China.
