We began recruiting 1 year ago in March 2021. With 324 patients included we're about a 1/3 of the way to our target of 1000 patients and due to finish on schedule in 2024. The study is still open and new centres are hopefully coming on board soon @MarioDOria14 @emmaaitken_emma

We are still looking for vascular access centres to participate in @VavascS! Nearly 300 patients have now been enrolled in the past year across 5 centres (Prague, Belfast, Košice, Salvador and Wroclaw) in 2021. Lets build the network for @VavascS and future studies!

There is steady recruitment to @VavascS! Get involved via or contact @stephenconeill @PeterBalaz1975. If you routinely map prior to fistula formation, it will involve only 2 mins extra work per patient. Check out the study protocol;.
