title: [Value of an end-stage renal failure registry. Experience of the Champagne-Ardenne region].
abstract: Since 1992, a registry gathering all the patients with end-stage renal failure is established in Champagne-Ardenne. It is based upon demographic data and allocation of dialysis treatment. It is supported by regional nephrologists. It is exhaustive and has been validated by the regional health administration. It is the only data base considered for the regional scheme of sanitary organization. In 1999 the incidence of terminal renal failure was 119 pmp and, at 1 January 2000, prevalence of uremic patients treated with supportive therapy, except transplantation, was 426 pmp. Our registry may be used as a regional registry awaiting to participate into built the national program project REIN (Renal Epidemiology and Information Network) and to help better health care policy and costs containment.
