METHODS A retrospective cohort study of all patients who initiated dialysis in the United States Renal Database System (2007-2014). Chi-square, student T-tests, Kaplan-Meier, log-rank tests, multivariable logistic and Cox regression analyses were employed to evaluate maturation, interventions, patency, infection and mortality. RESULTS The study of 381622 patients comprised 303307 (79.5%) autogenous fistulas and 78315 (20.5%) prosthetic grafts placed in 231134 (60.6%) diabetic and 150488 (39.4%) non-diabetic patients. There was decrease in maturation for diabetics compared to non-diabetics who received autogenous fistulas (aHR 0.86; 95%CI 0.83-0.88, P less then 0.001) and prosthetic grafts (aHR 0.88; 95%CI 0.83-0.93, P less then 0.001). Comparing diabetics vs. non-diabetics, primary patency at 5 years was 19.4 vs 23.5% (p less (aHR 1.19; 95%CI 1.17-1.20; P less then 0.001) and 12% increase for prosthetic graft recipients (aHR 1.12; 95%CI 1.10-1.15; P less then 0.001). CONCLUSIONS In this population-based cohort of hemodialysis patients, diabetes mellitus was associated with a decrease in patient survival, access maturation and primary fistula patency. In contrast there was no association between diabetes and prosthetic graft patency and severe prosthetic graft infection warranting excision. INTRODUCTION Acute iliofemoral artery thrombosis (IFAT) can occur in critically ill neonates and infants who require indwelling arterial cannulas for monitoring or as a consequence of cardiac catheterization. Guidelines suggest treatment with anticoagulation but evidence supporting the optimal duration of therapy and the role of surveillance ultrasonography (US) is limited. The objectives of this study were to characterize the kinetic
