This study explored the access to the French national renal transplantation waiting list and the waiting time before transplantation for the patients with ESRD on dialysis living in the FOT. Overseas health authorities gave data on ESRD incidence and prevalence. Data on patients registered between 1997 and 2000 were extracted from the French national waiting list (390 patients from the FOT and 9378 from continental France). Registered prevalence of ESRD in FOT (726 to 1418 per million population (pmp)) were higher than continental France (580 pmp). The yearly incidence of registration on the national French waiting list was 36 pmp. The same figure was observed in the FAT (French Guyana and Caribbean's islands: 36.8 to 43 pmp), very low in New Caledonia and Tahiti (7.7 and 18.1 pmp), and very high in the Reunion Island, where a renal transplantation unit is available (77.5 pmp). Median waiting times before transplantation varied significantly, FAT: 35.4 months, Reunion Island: 9.9 months, Pacific Territories: 8.8 months and the Metropolitan territory: 12.2 months. After adjustment on risk factors known to be associated with the waiting times before transplantation, we still observed a longer waiting time for patients from FAT (RR = 1,4, p < 0.05) and a lower waiting time for patients from Reunion Island (RR = 0.6, p < 0.001) compared to waiting time observed in patients from continental France. Consequently, transplantation teams in FAT must be developed.
