DM, diabetes mellitus; PRD, primary renal disease.

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 haemodialysis centre not submitting data.

bPatients younger than 18 years of age are not reported.

cPatients younger than 20 years of age are not reported.

dData includes dialysis patients only.

eData on primary renal disease are available for dialysis patients only (N = 2495, 99.1% of total).

fData on DM are extrapolated from data of 6774 patients (53.3% of total).
