Association of deceased donor rate per million (A) and median waiting time for transplantation (B) with patient referral for transplantation. Provinces with a lower deceased donor rate had a higher rate of referral (referral rate = 48.6–2.3 [deceased donor rate]; 95% CI for slope, −3.7 to −0.9; P=0.01). There was no significant association between the median waiting time in provinces and referral (referral rate = −8.9+0.02 [median waiting time]; 95% CI for slope, 0.01 to 0.05; P=0.17).
