Abstract: Aim. e study aimed to investigate the clinical epidemiological data and the survival rate of maintenance hemodialysis patients with tunneled cuffed central venous catheters (TCCs) in a single hemodialysis center in China. Methods. We retrospectively investigated the general clinical characteristics (including sex, age, primary causes, and catheter outcome) of 316 patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) via TCC for >3 months at

“…insufficient hemodialysis, other complications and reduction of the quality of life of patients. 7 As far as we know, there are many studies on the survival analysis of AVF or CVC in MHD patients, [8][9][10] but only few reports attempt to compare cardiac function and prognosis of AVF and CVC catheter. The objective of this retrospective study was to compare the clinical effects and prognoses of two vascular access systems.…”

Objective: To investigate the effects of arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) and central venous catheters (CVCs) on the left ventricular function (LVF) and prognosis of maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients. Methods: This retrospective cohort study included 270 patients (139 with AVF and 131 with CVC) undergoing dialysis with newly established vascular access in the blood purification center of Nanhua hospital, University of South China, from January 2019 to April 2021. Dialysis efficiencies, LVF indexes, and one-year prognoses were compared. Results: At six and twelve months after the establishment of vascular access, the mean urea clearances (Kt/V) and urea reduction ratio (URR) between the AVF- and the CVC-group were similar (P>0.05). The mean LVF values between the two groups were also similar before the establishment of vascular access (P>0.05), but the mean values of left ventricular end diastolic diameter (LVEDd), interventricular septal thickness (IVSTd), and left ventricular posterior wall thickness (LVPWT) in the AVF-group were higher than those in the CVC-group one year later, and mean early (E) and late (A) diastolic mitral velocities, E/A, and ejection fraction (EF) were lower than those in the CVC-group (P<0.05). The incidence of left ventricular hypertrophy and systolic dysfunction in the AVF-group was higher than that in the CVC-group (P<0.05). The hospitalization rate of AVF-group (23.02%) was lower than that of the CVC-group (49.61%) (P<0.05). Conclusion: Both AVF and CVC can achieve appropriate dialysis effects in MHD patients. AVF has a negative impact on cardiac function while CVC has a high hospitalization rate. doi: https://doi.org/10.12669/pjms.39.3.7151 How to cite this: He X, Liu Y.

Background: Tunneled central venous catheter (tCVCs) is a vascular access frequently employed in hemodialysis patients. Catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSI) are potentially life-threatening complications. Methods: We performed a retrospective survey regarding tCVCs prevalence as well as the CRBSI incidence and management within five hospitals in the Brescia province belonging to the “East Lombardy Nephrological Network”; this study was based upon 18 queries regarding the years 2020 and 2021. Results: The data collected refer to an overall hemodialysis population of 736 patients in 2020 and 745 patients in 2021. The prevalence of tCVCs was respectively 22.1% and 24.2% with the initial placement being performed with fluoroscopy support in 80% of the centers. CRBSI incidence was respectively 0.88 and 0.77 episodes per 1000 days of tCVC use. When the CRBI was caused by Staphylococcus Aureus (SA) or Pseudomonas, differently from the recommendation of the KDOQI guidelines, the removal or the substitution of the tCVC did not occur immediately at the time of the diagnosis of the infection but only when the specific antibiotic therapy failed. A nose swab aimed at identifying SA carriers was performed in 60% of centers. The policy regarding the referral to other specialists (infectious disease specialist and microbiologist) was heterogenous across the centers according to their specific logistics. Conclusions: This retrospective survey performed by the “East Lombardy Nephrological Network” within the Brescia province describes the prevalence of tCVCs use as well as the incidence and management of CRBSIs in the hemodialysis patients of this area. The clinical impact of the differences in terms of clinical approach detected compared to the KDOQI guidelines will need to be clarified ideally in prospective studies.
