Abstract:
Diabetes mellitus is the main aetiology of end stage kidney disease (ESKD) in Malaysia. However, there may be concerns of over-reporting of diabetes mellitus as the cause of ESKD in the Malaysian Dialysis and Transplant Registry (MDTR). The objective of this audit is to assess the accuracy of data collected in the MDTR. There were 151 centres/source data providers (SDP) with a total of 1977 patients included in this audit. The audit showed that 80.2% of doctors' records matched the MDTR data. The results were comparable with published validation studies in other countries.
