Patient characteristics predict patency of early-cannulation arteriovenous grafts.

Multivariate model A multivariate model was performed using the factors of near-significance and found to be highly significant ( X 2 = 24.078, p = 0.034, including age and BMI as continuous factors and sex as a time-dependent co-variable, Fig. 2 , Table 5 ).

Functional patency was found to be significantly or of near significance related to five factors (Table 4 ): the number of prior TCVC (categorical and as continuous variables), the indication for an ecAVG; BMI; primary renal disease; and presence of peripheral artery disease.
