The ankle brachial index (ABI) is a noninvasive method of assessing atherosclerosis. This study was to examine whether ABI is a significant predictor for AVF stenosis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This was a retrospective, longitudinal cohort study.

Forty-two patients experienced AVF stenosis. The univariate logistic regression analysis showed that AVF stenosis was associated with age (OR: 1.045,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.033), DM status (OR: 5.529,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.013), 7-year averaged cholesterol level (OR: 1.018,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.034), 7-year averaged triglyceride level (OR: 1.007,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.017), and ABI (OR: 0.011,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.001).
