Impact on autologous vascular access (VA) creation during COVID-19 pandemic at Hospital Kuala Lumpur
Introduction: The COVID 19 pandemic send a shock wave worldwide since it surfaced in 2020. This has brought an unprecedented crisis towards Malaysia and worldwide healthcare system resulting in a delay, and in some centres, indefinite postponement in performing elective surgery.

Introduction: The COVID 19 pandemic send a shock wave worldwide since it surfaced in 2020. This has brought an
unprecedented crisis towards Malaysia and worldwide healthcare system resulting in a delay, and in some centres, indefinite
postponement in performing elective surgery.
Purpose: To examined the impact of COVID 19 pandemic on vascular access creation at Malaysia’s national vascular referral
centre.
Materials and methods: We performed a retrospective analysis comparing the waiting time, number of vascular access (VA)
creation and catheter-related morbidity between pre-pandemic and post-pandemic era.
Results: There were 476 autologous VA 6 months prior to COVID 19 pandemic and 199 for same duration during the
COVID 19 pandemic. Despite of less VA being created there is a statistically longer waiting time from the time patient
was referred to the clinic and a VA being created (median 74 vs 98 days (p < 0.05) with a higher catheter malfunction rate
during the COVID 19 pandemic among these patient (25 vs 14 events/1000 catheter-days).
Conclusion: There is a significant increase in waiting time for VA creation and haemodialysis catheter malfunction among
these patients during the COVID 19 pandemic. |
