A 1:1 propensity score matching (PSM) analysis was conducted. The time from AVF creation to dialysis catheter removal [central venous catheter (CVC) days], the time to first AVF cannulation, and complications within 6\u202fmonths postoperatively were compared between the two groups.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n \n In the PSM cohort, the CVC days were 61.5 (53.5, 68.8) in the mobile health application group and 93.0 (75.5, 100.0) in the control group (\n p<\/jats:italic>\n \u202f&lt;\u202f0.05). The time to first cannulation was 57.0 (49.0, 62.8) days in the mobile health application group and 83.0 (69.3, 92.0) days in the control group. There was no significant difference in complications between the two groups within 6\u202fmonths. These results were independent of patients\u2019 age, education level, and dialysis hospital level.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n Mobile health applications can help reduce the number of CVC days and promote earlier cannulation of newly created AVFs without increasing the risk of complications.<\/jats:p>\n
