TL;DR
To evaluate the use of record linkage to monitor the occurrence of end‐stage renal failure in Western Australia in 1980–94, a large number of patients with known histories of renal failure have had records linked to their care in the past.
Abstract
Linked administrative data provide a valid and efficient means to plan and evaluate many of the routine aspects of renal dialysis and transplant services.

In young adults the unchanging incidence of renal failure due to all causes, glomerulonephritis and diabetes probably reflect nearly complete acceptance rates into end-stage renal failure programmes, and therefore approximate the true burden of disease.
