Table 1_Best practices along the kidney transplantation clinical journey.docx

A mixed-methods study across France, Germany, Italy, and Spain identified key best practice elements for kidney transplantation. The research involved a structured survey of 253 respondents, including patients, donors, and healthcare professionals, and semi-structured focus group interviews. The dataset, authored by Sara Machado and last updated in April 2026, presents findings on clinical practice and patient experience across four domains.

Use Cases

• Benchmarking clinical practice variability based on survey results from four European countries.
• Identifying gaps in patient awareness and access to care based on findings related to living donation.
• Analyzing resource allocation and workforce capacity based on recommendations for transplant coordinators and funding models.
• Developing patient-centered outcome measures based on recommendations for quality-of-life assessments and psychological support.

Strengths

• Survey includes 253 respondents from diverse stakeholder groups, including patients, donors, and clinicians.
• Study scope covers four major European countries: France, Germany, Italy, and Spain.
• Analysis spans four clinical domains: CKD management, donation/transplantation, recipient care, and service governance.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data is presented in a DOCX file, which may require extraction for structured analysis.
