ABSTRACT

Solid organ transplant activity in Mexico has been characterized by a progressive increase in its frequency, particularly that of kidney and liver transplants. Apparently a growing number of institutions, surgeons and clinicians are currently carrying out these procedures as well as the care of patients. This increase leads us to believe that the data generated by the accumulated experience throughout the years is extraordinary, but frequently unknown. The purpose of this analysis was to document the number of Mexican scientific communications presented in international transplant forums, especially in the American Transplant Congress, the International Transplant Congress, and the Congress of the Latin-American and Caribbean Transplant Society, between 1992 and 2015. Although Mexican presence in the aforementioned forums has tended to increase in the last decade, particularly in the 2006 and 2014 world meetings, during the previous and subsequent years, communications barely reached ten and with a wide annual variation; moreover, the number of Mexican institutions that in one year or another participated, recorded a total of only 9. These results lead us to reflect on the possible factors yielding this low or complete lack of scientific productivity in many centers in the country with active transplant programs; we consider that a much more active presence of Mexico is necessary in the worldwide transplant scenario.
