Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| The patency rate of vascular access | 2 years | Including primary and secondary patency rate.Blood flow can be above 500 mL/min in a mature arteriovenous fistula by ultrasound scan and 4 times of body weight (Kg\*4 mL/min) in a arteriovenous graft or tunneled cuffed catheter in dialysis practice. |
| Effect of vascular access construction on ventricular volumes and left ventricular remodeling | 2 years | Assessed by doppler echocardiography |
| Effect of vascular access construction on brain MRI and cognitive functionslesions and cognitive function | 2 years | Cognitive functions are assessed by psychic and autonomy scores |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Complications of vascular access | 2 years | Described as %.Complications including bleeding, infection, thrombosis, artery steal syndrome, heart failure, inadequate dialysis, etc. |
| Mortality due to vascular access | 2 years | — |
| Cost-effectiveness of different vascular access | 2 years | Described as $.The cost including medical expenses and non-medical expenses. |
