Model and online calculator for prediction of fistula maturation based on vein dilation and age: A retrospective cohort study in a single-center.

Objective: A model that considers the characteristics of dialysis patients may help predict successful fistula maturation. We evaluated factors associated with radiocephalic arteriovenous fistula (RCAVF) maturation at 3 months in dialysis patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD).

Methods: A total of 184 patients who received an initial RCAVF at Beijing Haidian Hospital (Haidian Section of Peking University Third Hospital) were recruited.
