5 Introduction 3-5 children per million develop chronic renal failure annually Of these, 70% will require dialysis for short periods 23% will require prolonged hemodialysis support

6 Incident & prevalent counts & adjusted rates in the pediatric ESRD population, by primary diagnosis USRDS 2011 ESRD patients age Adj: age/gender/race; ref: 2005 ESRD patients.

33 Experience with autogenous arteriovenous access for hemodialysis in children and adolescents. Ann Vasc Surg Sep;19(5): patients (mean age 14.6) All vein mapped Cimino: 16, BCF: 15, BVT: 7, FemV: 9 3 with microscope Primary 1 and 2 yrs: 100% and 96%

34 Two-stage basilic vein transposition- a new approach for pediatric dialysis access. J Pediatr Surg Jan;45(1): AV access AV access procedures 15 two-stage BVT Improved maturation, usage and primary patency

49 Vascular access: choice and complications in European paediatric haemodialysis units. Pediatr Nephrol Jun;27(6): Survey from 13 pediatric dialysis units (111 patients) 60% central venous catheters Type of access related to age Median age: 12: CVC, 16: AVF/AVG (p<0.001) Higher infection rates with CVC

50 Hemodialysis vascular access options in pediatrics: considerations for patients and practitioners. Pediatr Nephrol Jun;24(6): Despite a national initiative for fistula first in the adult hemodialysis population, the pediatric nephrology community in the United States of America utilizes central venous catheters as the primary dialysis access for most patients. Vascular access management requires proper advance planning, seamless communication involving multidisciplinary team of nephrologists, nurses, surgeons, and interventional radiologists... It is imperative that practitioners have a long-term vision to decrease morbidity in this unique patient population.

52 Access Evaluation - Patient Concerns I m afraid of needles I won t be able to wear jewelry I won t be able to play sports Fistulas look ugly I don t want anyone to see it on my arm

53

54 Access Evaluation Parent Concerns I m not sure what is best for him/her He/she doesn t like needles A family member is being evaluated to donate a kidney

55 Study Survey to all hemodialysis pediatric patients at CHLA Survey questions specific to type of access being used Parents

56 Objective To determine if psychosocial factors impact the type of access chosen by pediatric patients

57 Have you had other AV fistulas/grafts before? No Yes Don t know If yes, where and when was it placed? Year: Location: Are you happy with your current access type? No Yes Don t know Do you think fistulas/grafts look ugly? No Yes Don t know Did your doctor or nurse ever tell you that an AV fistula/graft is better for your health than a catheter? No Yes Don t know Did you choose to have a catheter instead of a fistula/graft? No Yes Don t know If you had a fistula/graft, would you be afraid of what people would say or think if they saw it? No Yes Don t know Are you worried that you wouldn t be able to wear jewelry or accessories around your fistula/graft? No Yes Don t know Are you afraid of having surgery to make the fistula/graft? No Yes Don t know Are you afraid of being stuck with needles for dialysis if you had a fistula/graft? No Yes Don t know Are you worried that you won t be able to play sports or do other activities if you had a fistula/graft?

58 Results 25 pediatric patients 23 patient surveys collected 10 parent surveys collected Patient access type and age No AVG AVF CVC P N 10 (43%) 13 (57%) Mean age <0.01

59 100% 90% 80% 70% 60% 50% Results 60% 60% 54% 54% 46% 69% 70% CVC AVF 60% 54% 40% 30% 20% 20% 10% 0%

60 Results 70% of patients in AVF group were satisfied with their access 20% embarrassed about fistula 40% hide fistula with clothing 20% would revert to CVC for hemodialysis

61 Results - Parents Nine (90%) parents reported being told by healthcare professional that an AVF is better, 40% parents believed an AVF was better for their child 50% said decision was shared with child

62 Summary Psychosocial barriers persist in the transition of CVC patients to AVFs Both groups shared similar concerns regarding AVFs Majority of AVF patients remain satisfied with their type of access Findings related to age, maturity, acceptance

63 Clinical Recommendation Patients 13 Time to transplantation Psychological factors Patency Internal Jugular vein Not as aggressive with fistula first Catheter based hemodialysis Patients 13

64 Clinical Recommendation Patients 13 Time to transplantation Psychological factors Patency Internal Jugular Not as aggressive with fistula first Catheter based hemodialysis Patients 13 Time to transplantation longer (especially 18 or older) Some failed transplant Psychological factors Acceptance Improved patency Fistula First

65 Conclusion Implementation of fistula first approach remains difficult in pediatric population with multiple factors to consider Patient and parent education imperative to improve outcomes and decrease catheter usage
