Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
The present authors studied longevity and complications with fistulae, grafts, and central venous catheters in 23 patients on daily hemodialysis for a total of 409 patient months (mean 18 ± 10 months) and 9,209 dialyses. Fourteen patients had fistulae, five had grafts, and four had catheters. These required one, one, and two replacements respectively during a total observation time of 254, 105, and 50 patient months. Fistulae required 0.05 replacements per year vs. 0.11 replacements per year for grafts and 0.48 replacements per year for catheters (p = 0.042, fistulae vs. other accesses). Cumulative survival at 15 months was 100% for fistulae, 80% for grafts, and 20% for catheters, and at 3 years it was 80% for fistulae and grafts. No catheter survived beyond 15 months (p = 0.041). Twenty-seven events required hospitalization or an outpatient intervention. Fistulae had 0.52 events per patient year, grafts 1.37 events per patient year, and catheters 1.44 events per patient year (p = 0.080, fistulae vs. other accesses). Patients with fistulae reported more problems between dialyses, these occurring on 3.2% of the observation days compared with 0.2% for grafts and 0.4% for catheters (p < 0.0001). Eighty-five percent of these problems were pain and redness at the access site. During dialysis, there were more problems with catheters (9.1% vs. fistulae 2.7% and grafts 0.9%, p < 0.0001). Complications and survival data were similar to those reported with daily hemodialysis by others and better than data from reports of access problems with conventional three times weekly hemodialysis. In conclusion, daily hemodialysis does not adversely affect the usual types of blood access. Survival was best and need for intervention was least with fistulae and worst with catheters. Grafts, when functioning, had fewer problems both between and during dialyses.
