|  | No Radiocephalic AVF (n = 24) | Radiocephalic AVF (n = 36) | Test of Significance |
|---|---|---|---|
Bone mineral density (BMD) lumbar region | − 1.35 (− 2.90: -0.20) | − 1.35 (− 3.10: 0.60) | Z= -0.136 P = 0.892 |
Bone mineral density (BMD) hip | − 0.9 (-2.7: 0.4) | − 1.30 (− 2.30: 0.40) | Z= -0.544 P = 0.586 |
Bone mineral density (BMD) forearm | − 1.40 (− 2.10: 2.80) | -2.55 (-5.10 :-1.30) | Z= -5.987 P < 0.001* |
