The purpose of this review is to describe the Southeastern Kidney Transplant Coalition's mission, vision, goals, and Early Transplant Access registry as an example of a community/academic collaboration dedicated to improving access to transplantation and reducing inequities in transplant access.
The barriers and facilitators to referral and evaluation for kidney transplantation are not necessarily the same as for waitlisting and transplantation. Recent findings suggest that inequities in transplant access are multilevel and multifactorial and require continued community engagement to improve access to kidney transplantation across patients, health systems, and populations.
Community-engaged approaches are critical to ensuring that inequities in transplant access - which may vary across regions -- are not only described but are addressed in practice in a sustainable manner.
本综述旨在描述东南肾脏移植联盟的使命、愿景、目标以及早期移植准入登记系统,以此作为社区/学术合作的范例,该合作致力于改善移植机会并减少移植准入方面的不平等现象。
肾脏移植转诊和评估的障碍与促进因素不一定与列入等待名单及移植时相同。最新研究结果表明,移植准入方面的不平等是多层次且多因素的,需要社区持续参与,以改善患者、医疗系统及不同人群获得肾脏移植的机会。
社区参与方法对于确保移植准入方面的不平等现象(可能因地区而异)不仅能得到描述,而且能在实践中以可持续的方式得到解决至关重要。
