Spatiotemporal patterns of kidney transplantation, chronic kidney disease, and traumatic brain injury mortality in Brazil

Key takeaways

This study mapped patterns over time and across regions of Brazil for kidney transplants, deaths from chronic kidney disease, and deaths from traumatic brain injury. It is observational, so it shows patterns and links, not proof of cause. No abstract was available, so the findings and numbers are unknown.
