ABSTRACT
Objective:To evaluate the autogenous arteriovenous fistula(AVF) insufficiency by ultrasound monitoring of brachial artery resistance index(RI).Methods:The brachial artery RI and blood flow volume(FV) data of 828 patients who underwent color-Doppler ultrasound detection after AVF in the General Hospital of Western Theater Command from January 2019 to June 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were grouped according to the adequacy of clinical dialysis, including 668 patients in the group with normal AVF function and 160 patients in the group with insufficient AVF function. The general information and ultrasonic measurement parameters were compared between the two groups. The correlation between brachial artery FV and RI was analyzed. The evaluation of brachial artery flow RI for AVF insufficiency was analyzed by ROC curve.Results:There were statistically significant differences between the two groups in brachial artery RI and FV(both P<0.001). The results of Pearson correlation analysis showed that brachial artery FV was negatively correlated to RI ( r=-0.657, P<0.001). The area under ROC curve for assessing AVF function by brachial artery RI was 0.970, with 95% CI was 0.955-0.986, the optimal cut-off value was 0.665, and the sensitivity and specificity were 0.888 and 0.955, respectively. Conclusions:Brachial artery RI in patients with AVF insufficiency is significantly higher than that in patients with normal AVF function. The optimal cutoff value of brachial artery RI can be used as an evaluation parameter for rapid screening of AVF function.
