Results We identified 78 patients with a median age of 14.7 years (range, 0.7–20.5 years) and weight of 46 kg (12.5–95 kg); AVF decreased from 76 % in group A to 41% in group B (p=0.002).
Wait times on transplant list were significantly reduced: median 413.5 days (range, 2– 1,910 days) in group A vs. 89 days (range, 18–692 days) in group B (p=0.003).
