ANZDATA is the Australian and New Zealand Dialysis and Transplant Registry. It is clinical registry that collects, produces and reports on a range of statistics. These statistics relate to the prevalence and incidence of kidney disease. Prevalence refers to the number of people with a condition during a certain time. Incidence refers to the number of new cases of a condition during a certain time. ANZDATA studies statistics about dialysis and transplant.
All dialysis and transplant services in Australia and New Zealand add to patient data to the registry. ANZDATA is located Adelaide, South Australia at the South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute.
ANZDATA produces many reports on dialysis and kidney transplants. These tell us the causes of kidney failure, how many people undergo each dialysis type, or receive a transplant. The kidney clinics and hospitals use this information to compare the health of their patients. It can help find areas to improve.
The team also conducts research answering important questions about the health and treatment of people with kidney failure. ANZDATA collects data for research projects which led to changes in care and outcomes for patients.
