Regarding fistula use, the hazard ratio of death for all-causes over time when applying a multivariate competing risk model was 1.55 [95% confidence interval (CI): 1.42-1.69] and 1.43 (95% CI: 1.33-1.54) for patients with tunneled and untunneled catheter, respectively. During the first year of follow-up, the crude all-cause mortality rate (deaths\/100 patient-years) was higher during the early (first 120 days) compared to the late (121-365 days) period: 18.3 (95% CI: 16.8-19.8) versus 15.4 (95% CI: 14.5-16.5). Regarding fistula use, for patients using untunneled and tunneled catheter, the odds ratio of death in the early period for all-causes was 3.66 (95% CI: 2.80-4.81) and 2.97 (95% CI: 2.17-4.06), for cardiovascular causes it was 2.76 (95% CI: 1.90-4.01) and 1.84 (95% CI: 1.17-2.89) and for infection-related causes it was 6.62 (95% CI: 3.11-14.05) and 4.58 (95% CI: 2.00-10.52), respectively. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p> Half of all incident patients in Catalonia are exposed to excessive mortality risk related to catheter and this scenario can be improved by early fistula placement. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.5301\/jva.5000468","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,9,25]],"date-time":"2015-09-25T19:34:30Z","timestamp":1443209670000},"page":"20-28","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":41,"title":["Starting Hemodialysis with Catheter and Mortality Risk: Persistent Association in a Competing Risk Analysis"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Ramon","family":"Roca-Tey","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Coordinator of the Vascular Accesses Working Group of the Catalan Society of Nephrology (SCN), Barcelona - Spain"},{"name":"Department of Nephrology, Hospital de Mollet, Barcelona - Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Emma","family":"Arcos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Registre de Malalts Renals de Catalunya (RMRC), Organitzaci\u00f3 Catalana de Trasplantaments (OCATT), Health Department of Catalonia, Barcelona - Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jordi","family":"Comas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Registre de Malalts Renals de Catalunya (RMRC), Organitzaci\u00f3 Catalana de Trasplantaments (OCATT), Health Department of Catalonia, Barcelona - Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Higini","family":"Cao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Registre de Malalts Renals de Catalunya (RMRC), Organitzaci\u00f3 Catalana de Trasplantaments (OCATT), Health Department of Catalonia, Barcelona - Spain"},{"name":"Department of Nephrology, Hospital del Mar, Barcelona - Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jaume","family":"Tort","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Registre de Malalts Renals de Catalunya (RMRC), Organitzaci\u00f3 Catalana de Trasplantaments (OCATT), Health Department of Catalonia, Barcelona - Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,8,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-jva.5000468","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1681\/ASN.2012070643"},{"key":"bibr2-jva.5000468","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1053\/j.ajkd.2008.10.043"},{"key":"bibr3-jva.5000468","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1681\/ASN.2010111155"},{"key":"bibr4-jva.5000468","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/ndt\/gft497"},{"key":"bibr5-jva.5000468","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/01.ASN.0000109668.05157.05"},{"key":"bibr6-jva.5000468","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1681\/ASN.2004090748"},{"key":"bibr7-jva.5000468","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1053\/j.ajkd.2005.11.023"},{"key":"bibr8-jva.5000468","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2215\/CJN.01240308"},{"key":"bibr9-jva.5000468","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1053\/j.ajkd.2009.07.008"},{"issue":"2","key":"bibr10-jva.5000468","first-page":"123","volume":"29","author":"Gruss E","year":"2009","journal-title":"Nefrologia"},{"key":"bibr11-jva.5000468","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/ndt\/gfq775"},{"issue":"1","key":"bibr12-jva.5000468","first-page":"103","volume":"32","author":"Ant\u00f3n-P\u00e9rez G","year":"2012","journal-title":"Nefrologia"},{"key":"bibr13-jva.5000468","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1681\/ASN.2012060632"},{"key":"bibr14-jva.5000468","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5301\/JN.2013.11613"},{"key":"bibr15-jva.5000468","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2215\/CJN.01170905"},{"key":"bibr16-jva.5000468","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/ki.2014.15"},{"key":"bibr17-jva.5000468","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/ki.2013.252"},{"key":"bibr18-jva.5000468","unstructured":"The International Classification of Diseases. 9th Revision, Clinical Modification 1978.
