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

aThe prevalence 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 prevalent counts are therefore slightly higher than the counts reported here.

dData on prevalence include dialysis patients only.

eData on the prevalence of PRD (DM) is based on 7585 dialysis patients (9.1% of total).

DM = diabetes mellitus as PRD.
