"Indicator Calculation: Description","The median number of days from admission to discharge for living organ donors.Unit of analysis: HospitalizationHospitalizations for liver or kidney living donation in the Hospital Morbidity Database (HMDB) are included if all of the following are true:Hospitalization has CCI code 1.OA.58.WL-XX-J (liver) or one of 1.PC.58-^^-^^-J, 1.PC.89.^^ or 1.PC.91 (kidney)Hospitalization has ICD-10-CA code Z52.4, Z52.6, Z52.8 or Z52.9Age at discharge was 18 or olderThe following were excluded. These exclusion criteria were chosen to rule out transplant recipients or deceased donors who were erroneously coded with a living donation CCI code:Intervention code is A (abandoned procedure)An intervention with a CCI code that does not begin with 2 or 3 occurred before the episode where the living donation intervention occurred; this identifies non-diagnostic interventionsAdmission category for the hospitalization is R, indicating a cadaveric donor abstractAn intervention with CCI code 1.^^.85.^^ occurred in the same episode as the living donation intervention, indicating a transplantation procedureAn intervention with CCI code 1.^^.58.^^-XX-K occurred in the same episode as the living donation intervention, indicating a deceased donation interventionThe hospitalization has ICD-10-CA code N18, N08.3 or J96 with diagnosis type M, C, 1, 5, 6, W, X or Y, indicating a diagnosis of chronic kidney disease or respiratory failureAdmission date or time or discharge date or time is unknown"

"Quality Statement: Caveats and Limitations","The number of living donors may vary slightly from what is reported by the Canadian Organ Replacement Register (CORR) due to the use of a different data source (HMDB).The number may also vary slightly from that seen in other indicators because hospitalizations with missing length of stay are excluded."
"Quality Statement: Trending Issues","Not applicable"
"Quality Statement: Comments","Future reporting will use data from the new Canadian Organ Donation and Transplantation Data System (CanODT) once it is available. "
