Disparities in kidney transplantation accessibility among immigrant populations in Europe: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background And Objectives: Disparities in access to healthcare for patients with an immigration background are well-known. The aim of this study was to determine whether disparities among immigrant populations translate into a relative difference in the number of kidney transplants (KT) performed in documented immigrant patients (first and second generation) relative to native-born patients in Europe.

Methods: A literature search was performed in PubMed from inception to 11-10-2022.
