Background: Autogenous Arteriovenous Fistula (AVF) is the preferred vascular access for maintenance hemodialysis in patients with End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD), but its clinical utility is limited by high rates of maturation failure. Although multiple predictive models have been developed, their reliability and methodological quality remain uncertain.
Objective: To systematically review and evaluate the predictive performance and risk of bias of existing models for AVF maturation failure in ESRD patients.
Methods: A systematic search of nine databases (including PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library) was conducted from inception to November 14, 2024. Studies involving adult ESRD patients undergoing new AVF creation and reporting prediction models for AVF maturation failure were included. Data extrac.. View More»
