The article looks at the target set by the National Kidney Foundation Dialysis Outcome Quality Initiative (DOQI) guideline for prevalent arterio-venous fistula (AVF) in-use rate at the Northwest Renal Network. Particular focus is given to the reasonable and achievable prevalent AVF goal to establish, which is compatible with the medical practice and health care environment of the Network. The possible dependence of prevalent AVF on providers practice pattern is discussed.
