a N depends on percentage of registered values.

b If at least one variable is a constant, a Kappa could not be calculated for all practices independently.

c To determine Kappa (target values) for weight and height, BMI was computed.

d Range: the minimal and maximal percentage or kappa per outcome.at practice level.

* Significant difference between EMR and SRP based on McNemar test, p < 0.01

# Not comparable due to different units of measurement

- Not applicable

SRP = Structured registration program, EMR = Electronic medical record, HbA1c = Glycosylated haemoglobin
