Ecological study compares outcomes of catheters and arteriovenous fistulas in Brazil, highlighting mortality differences.

AVFs demonstrated lower mortality rates at 9.24 per thousand, compared to higher mortality associated with CVCs.
Out of 7,067,387 admissions, AVF use predominated at 65.1%, particularly in high-risk populations.
Advanced age and early childhood were identified as vulnerable groups requiring special attention in vascular access decisions.
The study was based on secondary data from the Brazilian Unified Health System, raising concerns about data reliability.
