Why the study?

Does the indexation of arteriovenous fistula blood flow rate improve the identification of patients at higher risk for high-output cardiac failure compared to absolute blood flow rate?

Population

29 consecutive patients with vascular access blood flow ≥ 2000 ml/min at color-duplex ultrasound examination

Comparison

Indexation of arteriovenous fistula blood flow… vs Absolute arteriovenous fistula blood flow or Qa…

Design

Cross-sectional

Overview

May support indexed Qa for HOCF screening in AVF patients; leaves open prospective validation versus absolute flow.

Structured PICO

Does the indexation of arteriovenous fistula blood flow rate improve the identification of patients at higher risk for high-output cardiac failure compared to absolute blood flow rate?

Population

29 consecutive patients with vascular access blood flow (Qa) ≥ 2000 ml/min at color-duplex ultrasound examination

Intervention

Indexation of arteriovenous fistula blood flow for height^2.7 (Qa ≥ 603 ml/min/m^2.7)

Comparator

Absolute arteriovenous fistula blood flow (Qa ml/min) or Qa < 603 ml/min/m^2.7

Outcome

Presence of high-output cardiac failure (HOCF) symptomssurrogate

Indexing arteriovenous fistula blood flow to patient size (height^2.7) provides a more accurate identification of patients at risk for high-output cardiac failure than absolute blood flow values.
