APBMT Transplant Activity Survey 2007

Method

Using APBMT survey forms, the number of all transplants performed until 2006 in Asian countries, according to indications, donor types, and stem cell sources, were collected. Nine out of 12 countries/regions, participating in the APBMT have submitted their transplant activity data by April 5, 2008. The following figure shows how the data was collected.

From Japan, Korea, Malaysia and Taiwan the data was submitted through the national registry. In China, Hong Kong, and Iran, data was collected by each representative physician. For Vietnam and Singapore, the APBMT data center had direct contacts with major transplant centers and received the data. The collected data of these 2 countries will be sent back to each country as their national data.
