Abstract
Los registros (RE) científicos en trasplante (Tx) renal son muy útiles, ya que permiten identificar factores de riesgo en esta población y facilitan contrastar la información con otros registros nacionales e internacionales, contribuyendo así a establecer estrategias que mejoren los resultados en términos de supervivencia. Constituyen un sistema organizado y planificado que utiliza métodos observacionales y procesos sistemáticos estandarizados, incluyendo modelos ajustados de riesgo, para evaluar esencialmente resultados de supervivencia. Los RE científicos se complementan con los ensayos clínicos al aportar evidencia científica, pero requieren inexcusablemente análisis estadísticos adecuados que generen datos clínicos fiables, contribuyendo a optimizar el pronóstico de la población trasplantada. Asimismo, los RE científicos proporcionan información valiosa sobre el rendimiento de los programas de Tx y ayudan a generar índices pronósticos, lo que redunda en una mejora de la supervivencia. Con estas premisas, esta revisión profundizará en los siguientes aspectos relacionados con los RE científicos en el Tx: 1) el concepto y la importancia de implementar los RE en Tx; 2) las medidas necesarias para su correcta ejecución; 3) los beneficios, la calidad y las limitaciones de los RE; 4) las herramientas estadísticas para el adecuado análisis de la supervivencia; y 5) la utilidad de los RE en la evaluación de la calidad, el rendimiento y las expectativas de los programas de Tx, así como en la generación de índices de comorbilidad.

They constitute an organised and planned system that uses observational methods and standardised systematic processes, including adjusted risk models, to essentially evaluate survival outcomes. The scientific RE are complemented with clinical trials providing scientific evidence, but inexcusably need adequate statistical analysis to generate reliable clinical data that contribute to optimising the prognosis of the transplant population. In addition, scientific RE provide valuable information on the performance of Tx programmes and help generate prognostic indexes, which could contribute to improving survival. Under these prerequisites, this review will assess the following aspects related to the scientific RE in the Tx: 1) the concept and importance of implementing RE in Tx; 2) the measures that are needed for the correct execution of the scientific RE; 3) the benefits, quality and limitations of RE; 4) the statistical tools for the adequate analysis of survival; and 5) utility of RE in the evaluation of performance, quality and surveillance of transplant programmes and the generation of comorbidity índices.
