- The study investigates racial and ethnic disparities in the use of forearm arteriovenous access (AVA) for hemodialysis initiation, finding that Black and Hispanic patients are less likely to have forearm AVAs compared to White patients.
- A retrospective analysis of over 70,000 patients from DaVita Kidney Care revealed a significant decline in the proportion of forearm AVA use, dropping from 49% in 2006 to 29% in 2019, without any differences in this trend among racial and ethnic groups.
- The results highlight persistent inequalities in AVA location choices among different races, suggesting a need for further research into the underlying factors contributing to these differences.
