Abstract | INTRODUCTION: Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia (SAB) is a high-risk infection and feared complication related to hemodialysis. This study aimed to investigate incidence and risk factors for SAB depending on hemodialysis access type. METHODS: The Danish National Registry on Regular Dialysis and Transplantation was used to identify patients from January 1, 1996 to December 31, 2011 with end-stage kidney disease. Patients were followed until death, the first episode of SAB, or end of study (December 31, 2011). Independent risk factors were assessed by multivariable Poisson regression with time-updated exposure variables. FINDINGS: DISCUSSION:
