Background. The optimal vascular access for chronic maintenance haemodialysis (HD) is the native arterio-venous fistula (AVF). Vascular access practice patterns are reported for a Canadian cohort of patients from the Dialysis Outcomes and Practice Patterns Study (DOPPS II). Methods. DOPPS II is a prospective, observational study in 12 countries, including Canada. A representa-tive random sample of 20 Canadian HD facilities and patients within those units were studied during 2002–2004. Canadian results were compared with those found in Europe and the USA. Results. AVF use in Canadian prevalent (53%) and incident (26%) patients was lower than Canadia
