For the first time, OPTN/SRTR has undertaken to publish global transplant rates as part of its Annual Data Report. Understanding why rates vary from country to country may lead to a better understanding of how to improve access to transplant everywhere. Availability of information varies substantially from country to country, and how complete and accurate the data are is difficult to ascertain. For Canada, Malaysia, and the United Kingdom, data were supplied at SRTR request from well-known registries. For many other countries, SRTR was unable to obtain information, and data from the World Health Organization's Global Observatory on Donation and Transplantation were used. Transplant counts and rates vary substantially around the world, likely due to 1) differences in rates of end-organ diseases, 2) economic differences in the ability to provide transplants or other end-organ disease treatment, 3) cultural differences that might support or hinder organ donation and transplant, and 4) reporting differences.
首次，OPTN/SRTR 承担起发布全球移植率的任务，作为其年度数据报告的一部分。了解为什么各国的移植率存在差异，可能有助于更好地了解如何在各地提高移植的可及性。信息的可用性在各国之间存在很大差异，并且很难确定数据的完整性和准确性。对于加拿大、马来西亚和英国，SRTR 根据要求从知名登记处获得了数据。对于许多其他国家，SRTR 无法获得信息，因此使用了世界卫生组织全球器官捐献与移植观察站的数据。世界各地的移植数量和比率存在很大差异，这可能归因于 1）终末期疾病的发生率不同，2）提供移植或其他终末期疾病治疗的经济能力差异，3）可能支持或阻碍器官捐赠和移植的文化差异，以及 4）报告差异。
