APBMT Activity Survey 2009
Methods
The secretariat office collected the data using two survey forms. Fourteen out of sixteen countries/regions participating in APBMT submitted their transplant activity data by August 20, 2009.
As shown in the Figure below, from Japan, Korea, Malaysia and Taiwan, the data was submitted through their national registry. The Australasian Bone Marrow Transplant Recipient Registry (ABMTRR) submitted the national data for Australia and New Zealand. In China, Hong Kong, India and Iran, data was collected by the particular contact persons and submitted to the APBMT data center. The APBMT data center had direct contacts with major transplant centers and received the data from Pakistan, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam. The data collected from these four countries will be sent back to each country as their national data.
