BACKGROUND AND AIMS
Central venous catheters (CVC) remain a commonly used vascular access option in haemodialysis, despite guidelines advising to preferably use arteriovenous fistulae. Compared to younger patients, the risk-benefit ratio of CVC in older patients might be more beneficial, but previous studies mainly focussed on catheter-related bacteraemia and/or assessed tunnelled CVC (TCVC) only. This study's aim was to compare all catheter-related infections and malfunctions in older patients with younger patients using all CVC subtypes.
METHOD
We used data from DUCATHO, a multicentre observational cohort study in the Netherlands. All adult patients in whom a CVC was placed for haemodialysis between 2012–2016 were included. The primary endpoint was the occurrence of catheter-related infections, comparing patients aged ≥ 70 years with patients aged |
