| Abstract |
The principle of "Fistula First" for hemodialysis has been widely adopted among adults with end-stage renal failure (ESRF). UK national targets aim to have 85 % of prevalent patients using permanent access (arteriovenous fistula or graft). Currently, hemodialysis in children relies heavily on central venous catheters (CVC). However, there is significant evidence that arteriovenous fistulae (AVF) are preferable for long-term dialysis in the pediatric population. We describe the principles of fistula formation including pre-operative work-up, surgical techniques for AVF creation, and post-operative monitoring. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 02 September 2016.
All research outputs
#14,222,096
of 23,577,761 outputs
Outputs from Pediatric Nephrology
#2,392
of 3,671 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#104,879
of 185,185 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Pediatric Nephrology
#14
of 25 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,577,761 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 38th percentile – i.e., 38% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,671 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 5.0. This one is in the 33rd percentile – i.e., 33% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 185,185 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 42nd percentile – i.e., 42% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 25 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 44th percentile – i.e., 44% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
