DM = diabetes mellitus as PRD.

When cells are left empty, the data are unavailable and could not be used for the calculation of the summary data.

aThe incidence is underestimated by approximately 1% due to one HD centre not submitting data.

bPatients younger than 18 years of age are not reported.

cPatients younger than 20 years of age are not reported: the true incidence counts are therefore slightly higher than the counts reported here.

dData include dialysis patients only.

eData on PRD are available for dialysis patients only (99.1% of total N = 2361).

fData on the incidence of PRD (DM) is based on 2180 dialysis patients (18.8% of total).
