Vascular access in super-aged patients.

CONCLUSIONS: The initiation of dialysis with temporary CVC is not a risk factor of death in nonelderly patients (<70 years). On the other hand, in elderly (≥70 years) and super-aged (≥80 years) patients, dialysis initiation with CVC increased the risk of death, but they had to start dialysis with CVC on an emergency basis because of their clinical condition, that is, inflammations.
