| Core Tip |
This retrospective cohort study from a Kenyan county hospital identifies a high one-year mortality rate (34.2%) among incident hemodialysis patients. Advanced age and central venous catheter (CVC) use were the only independent predictors of mortality. With CVC use exceeding 89%, our findings reveal a critical “catheter-first” systemic failure. This underscores an urgent need for decentralized vascular access programs and earlier nephrology referrals to shift toward arteriovenous fistulas and improve patient survival in resource-limited settings. |
