Abstract

Significant regional and sociodemographic variations in VA practices were observed across Egypt. The findings revealed persistent reliance on temporary catheters at HD initiation, with encouraging but limited progress in pre-HD AVF planning. These trends underscore the need for early referral strategies and targeted interventions to optimize vascular access outcomes nationwide.
