Lower median times are desirable.
The median number of days from dialysis start to kidney transplant. Only people who received a kidney transplant are included. Only transplants that were performed in Canada are included. Pre-emptive transplants are included and have a dialysis time of 0. Results are presented by year of transplant.
Unit of analysis: Transplanted kidney. A bilateral kidney transplant counts as 1 transplant.
Kidney transplants as reported in the Canadian Organ Replacement Register (CORR) (organ type code beginning with 1) between 2013 and 2022 are included.
The following are excluded:
- Transplants performed in Quebec, due to incomplete data coverage
- Retransplants (graft number >1) where the previous transplant was not recorded in CORR
The date of the first dialysis treatment for a patient reported in CORR is considered the dialysis start date. For retransplants, the date of the first dialysis treatment since the previous transplant is considered the dialysis start date.
Records with no dialysis data are considered pre-emptive transplants and have a dialysis time of 0.
