Introduction: Traditionally, renal access clinics have been vascular-led due to the specialist nature of the definitive procedure; however, some rural centres have experimented with a physician-led model as part of a multi-disciplinary approach. This study investigates the impact of rural physician-led renal clinics on patient outcomes, particularly focusing on arteriovenous fistula (AVF) or graft (AVG) at the first session of haemodialysis. The analysis compares outcomes across rural and urban New South Wales (NSW) centres to determine the effectiveness of physician-led care in improving vascular access for dialysis patients. Method: Data was extracted from the Australia and New Zealand Dialysis and Transplant Registry, covering 2020-2023. Data from Dubbo, a rural base hospital with a physician-led model for renal access, was compared to other NSW Hospitals coded as either rural or urban. Statistical analysis was conducted using Pearson’s chi-square test to assess the significance of differences in patient outcomes, with a p-value of less than 0.005 considered significant. Results: The analysis demonstrated that the physician-led rural dialysis access clinic at Dubbo achieved significantly higher rates of permanent vascular access at first haemodialysis compared to combined rural and urban centres in NSW. Dubbo reported a rise in permanent access from 40%-75% between 2020 and 2023 (chi-square 20.851 (p = 0.002)). In contrast, rural centres averaged 46% and urban centres 41% for permanent access. Conclusion: The findings suggest that rural physician-led renal clinics may contribute to improved patient outcomes in haemodialysis, particularly regarding increasing the use of permanent vascular access. Further research is needed to confirm these results across a broader range of physician-led clinics and to account for potential confounding factors. Future studies should consider retrospective cohort analyses to explore the long-term benefits of this approach.
