Canadian Organ Replacement Register (CORR)

The Canadian Organ Replacement Register (CORR) is a pan-Canadian information system managed by CIHI. CORR collects data from hospital dialysis programs, transplant programs, organ donation organizations (ODOs) and independent health facilities to track patients from their first treatment for end-stage organ failure (dialysis or transplantation) to their death.

Using these statistics, CORR produces in-depth reports and analyses on long-term trends on organ transplants, organ donation and dialysis in Canada. This pan-Canadian comparative data can be used to enhance treatment, patient care and research. 

CORR maintains a list of contact information for dialysis centres, transplant centres and ODOs across Canada. This directory includes a list of dialysis centres that accept visitors in need of dialysis services.

The CORR annual statistics provides the latest information about extra-renal organ donation and transplantation, and end-stage kidney disease in Canada. Refer to the annual data quality documentation (PDF) for information related to the data sources, quality and accuracy of CORR reporting.

CORR data in action

CIHI uses CORR data to produce

  • Annual releases (including annual statistics and Quick Stats) and special short reports that include statistics and in-depth studies.
  • Centre-specific reports that summarize comparative provincial and pan-Canadian statistics related to patient and clinical characteristics, survival rates and graft function from participating transplant centres. These reports are provided to centres submitting data to CORR.
  • Centre-specific clinical measures reports that provide comprehensive clinical statistics related to hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis follow-up. These reports are provided to centres submitting data to CORR.

CORR data is presented at scientific meetings including those hosted by the Canadian Society of Nephrology and the Canadian Society of Transplantation. CORR data has been cited in numerous research publications.
