[ Summary ] |
Japanese Society for Dialysis Therapy (JSDT) Renal Data Registry (JRDR) consists of a virtual cohort with more than 870,000 dialysis patients. Several targets were set in the standard or guidelines of JSDT using analysis of JRDR mega-data. There are two measures which might be taken to make JRDR more available and valuable. The first is to make JRDR open to a greater number of researchers for analysis. Second, JSDT should publish more papers concerning candidates for future clinical questions in advance of creating the JSDT guidelines and standards. |
