Description
Breakdown by primary diagnosis of all incidence patients (new patients) with end-stage kidney disease who began renal replacement therapy (RRT) (either dialysis or renal transplantation) for the first time in the calendar year
Interpretation
Increasing incidence rates over time have important implications for resources, disease management and the need for kidney donation.

Description
Breakdown by primary diagnosis of all incidence patients (new patients) with end-stage kidney disease who began renal replacement therapy (RRT) (either dialysis or renal transplantation) for the first time in the calendar year
Calculation: Description
Counts and rates are based on patients registered during a given calendar year in a Canadian facility. Patients who began RRT for ESKD outside of Canada but are subsequently treated in Canada are included in prevalence counts but not incidence counts.
Calculation: Geographic Assignment

Numerator

Description:
Patients registered in the Canadian Organ Replacement Register (CORR) who started RRT for ESKD
Inclusions:
Patients registered in CORR during a given calendar year (January 1–December 31)

Patients must have a valid primary diagnosis code.
Exclusions:
Patients who began RRT for ESKD outside of Canada but are subsequently treated in Canada


<div role="button" class="expandableTitle" aria-controls="backgroundRegion">Background, Interpretation and Benchmarks</div>
Rationale

Disease etiology can be tracked by viewing changes in the primary diagnosis over time. There are significant costs associated with treating this patient group.

Interpretation

Increasing incidence rates over time have important implications for resources, disease management and the need for kidney donation.

Caveats and Limitations

The indicator is based on voluntary data submitted to CORR from facilities across Canada. Submission of data for patients beginning RRT for ESKD is not mandatory.

Data from Quebec was not included because of significant under-reporting between 2011 and 2015, which may lead to biased results.

Trending Issues

An overview of under-reporting of organ transplant cases can be found in Data Quality Documentation for Users: Canadian Organ Replacement Register, 2006 to 2015 Data .
