LAUSR

In some renal centres ethnicity data is recorded in the clinical information systems in the individual renal centres in the format of 9S. . . read codes. In other centres it is extracted from local PAS systems in a different format and should be recoded to the 9S. . . format by the centre, before being sent to the UK Renal Registry (UKRR). For report analyses, ethnic categories are condensed into five groups (White, South Asian, Black, Chinese and Other). For some analyses Chinese are grouped into Other.
