Abstract
Patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) have a higher risk of vascular complications. This retrospective cohort study aimed to analyze the differences in the risk of arteriovenous fistula or graft (AVF/AVG) dysfunction in hemodialysis patients with and without SLE from Taiwan's National Health Insurance Database over a 10-year period. AVF/AVG dysfunction is defined as the occurrence of the first episode of intervention after vascular access creation. A total of 1366 HD patients with SLE had higher incidence rates of AVF/AVG dysfunction than 4098 non-SLE HD patients in the following 4 periods: (1) after 1 year (incidence rates = 15.21% and 13.01%, respectively; subdistribution hazard ratio (SHR) = 1.16; P = 0.007), (2) 1st-to-10th-year period (15.36% and 13.25%; SHR = 1.16; P = 0.007), (3) 5th-to-10th-year period (11.91% and 8.1%; SHR = 1.42; P = 0.003), and (4) overall period (23.53% and 21.66%; SHR = 1.09; P = 0.027). In conclusion, there were significantly higher incidence rates of AVF/AVG dysfunction in SLE patients during the long-term follow-up period. Vascular access function should be monitored regularly by clinical examinations, especially after 1 year and during 5 to 10 years, to improve AVF/AVG patency and dialysis adequacy in SLE patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis.

Systemic lupus erythematosus diagnosis impacts clinical outcomes of arteriovenous fistulas in comparison to other end-stage renal disease etiologies. Vascular 2020; 29:126-133.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Arteriovenous fistulas primary patency at one-year occurs in 43-85% of the patients with end-stage renal disease. The diagnosis attributable to end-stage renal disease has been suggested to impact arteriovenous fistulas outcomes. The objective was to compare primary patency at one week, 1, 3, 6, and 12 months of follow-ups, among systemic lupus erythematosus patients and two control groups; additionally, we evaluated the impact of systemic lupus erythematosus to predict early patency loss. METHODS A retrospective review of charts from arteriovenous fistulas created between 2008 and 2017 was performed. One-hundred thirty-four patients were identified and classified according to end-stage renal disease attributable diagnosis as: systemic lupus erythematosus cases (N = 14), control-group-1 (91 patients with primarily diabetes and hypertension), and control-group-2 (29 patients with idiopathic end-stage renal disease). A case-control matched design (1:2:1) was proposed. Logistic regression analysis and Kaplan-Meier curves were used. Institutional Review Board approval was obtained. RESULTS More systemic lupus erythematosus patients lost primary patency at 3 (28.6%) and 12 months (71.4%) than patients from control-groups-1 (vs. 3.6% and 35.7%, respectively) and -2 (vs. 0% and 14.3%, respectively), (p ≤ 0.011 for both). Days of primary patency survival were shorter in systemic lupus erythematosus patients (p = 0.003). Systemic lupus erythematosus diagnosis was the only factor associated with early patency loss, HR: 3.141, 95%CI: 1.161-8.493 (systemic lupus erythematosus diagnosis vs. control-group-1) and HR: 12.582, 95%CI: 1.582-100.035 (systemic lupus erythematosus diagnosis vs. control-group-2). CONCLUSIONS Diagnosis attributable to end-stage renal disease has a major impact on arteriovenous fistula outcomes in patients. Systemic lupus erythematosus patients have an increased risk of arteriovenous fistulas patency loss within the first six months of follow-up. Patients with idiopathic end-stage renal disease had an excellent one year arteriovenous fistula patency survival.

The outcome of the primary vascular access and its translation into prevalent access use rates in chronic haemodialysis patients. Clin Kidney J 2012; 5:339-46. [PMID: 25874094 PMCID: PMC4393467 DOI: 10.1093/ckj/sfs055] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/08/2011] [Accepted: 04/20/2012] [Indexed: 11/27/2022] Open
Abstract
Background The American Fistula First Breakthrough Initiative currently aims for a 66% arterio-venous fistula (AVF) rate, while in the UK, best practice tariffs target AVF and arterio-venous graft (AVG) rates of 85%. The present study aims to assess whether these goals can be achieved. Methods We conducted a retrospective cohort study on patients who initiated haemodialysis from 1995 to 2006. Outcomes were the final failure-free survival of the first permanent access and the type of second access created. Prevalent use rates for the access types were calculated on the 1st January of each year for the second half of the study period. Results Two hundred and eleven out of 246 patients (86%) received an AVF, 16 (6%) an AVG and 19 (8%) a permanent catheter (PC) as the first permanent access. Eighty-six (35%) patients had final failure of the primary access. One- and 3-year final failure-free survival rates were 73 and 65% for AVF compared with 40 and 20% for AVG and 62 and 0% for PC, respectively. In patients with primary AVF, female sex {hazard ratio (HR) 2.20 [confidence interval (CI) 1.29–3.73]} and vascular disease [HR 2.24 (CI 1.26–3.97)] were associated with a poorer outcome. A similar trend was observed for autoimmune disease [HR 2.14 (CI 0.99–4.65)]. As second accesses AVF, AVG and PC were created in 47% (n = 40), 38% (n = 33) and 15% (n = 13). The median prevalent use rate was 80.5% for AVF, 14% for AVG and 5.5% for PC. Conclusions The vascular access targets set by initiatives from the USA and UK are feasible in unselected haemodialysis patients. High primary AVF rates, the superior survival rates of AVFs even in patient groups at higher risk of access failure and the high rate of creation of secondary AVFs contributed to these promising results.
