The French Renal Epidemiology and Information Network (REIN) registry began in 2002 to provide a tool for public health decision support, evaluation and research related to renal replacement therapies (RRT) for @entity454 ( @entity454 ). It relies on a network of nephrologists, epidemiologists, @entity1 and public health representatives, coordinated regionally and nationally. Continuous registration covers all dialysis and transplanted @entity1 . In 2003, 2070 @entity1 started RRT, 7854 were on dialysis and 7294 lived with a functioning graft in seven regions (with a population of 16.5 million @entity1 ). The overall crude annual incidence rate of RRT for @entity454 was 123 per million population (p.m.p.) with significant differences in age-adjusted rates across regions, from 84 [95% confidence interval (CI): 74-94] to 155 [138-172] p.m.p. The principal causes of @entity454 were @entity101 (21%) and @entity6 (20%) @entity8 . Initial treatment for @entity454 was peritoneal dialysis for 15% of @entity1 and a pre-emptive graft for 3%. The one-year survival rate was 81% [79-83] in the cohort of 2002-2003 incident @entity1 . As of December 31, 2003, the overall crude prevalence was 898 [884-913] p.m.p, with 5% of @entity1 receiving peritoneal dialysis, 47% on haemodialysis and 48% with a functioning graft. The experience in these seven regions over these two years clearly shows the feasibility of the REIN registry, which is progressively expanding to cover the entire country.
