Sample size was calculated using Epi-Info 7 software. According to the results of previous study conducted at renal dialysis unit of Assiut university hospital (7) the most common complication occurred in haemodialysis access (A-V fistula) was infected A-V access (23.8%). Based on this prevalence the minimum required sample size for current study is 84 patients.
Following assumptions were used to calculate this sample:
Target population size = 120 (as number of new haemodialysis patients is 100-120 each year).
N.B: in this study we will include all eligible cases at renal dialysis unit of Assiut university i.e., patients of last year (total coverage sample)
