Background and objectives Comparisons of fistulas and grafts often overlook the high primary failure rate of fistulas. This study compared cumulative patency (time from access creation to permanent failure) of fistulas and grafts.Design, setting, participants, & measurements Vascular accesses of 1140 hemodialysis patients from two centers (Toronto and London, Ontario, Canada, 2000-2010) were analyzed. Cumulative patency was compared between groups using Kaplan-Meier survival curves and log-rank tests. Hazard ratios (HRs) for fistula failure relative to grafts and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) are reported.Results There were 1012(88.8%) fistulas and 128(11.2%) grafts. The primary failure rate was two times greater for fistulas than for grafts: 40% versus 19% (P
