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

a

Patients younger than 20 years of age are not reported. The true incidence counts are, therefore, slightly higher than the counts reported here.

b

Data on incidence include dialysis patients only.

c

Data on incidence of primary renal disease (DM) is based on 1707 dialysis patients (14.7% of total).

d

The incidence is underestimated by ∼4% due to a small number of centres not submitting complete data for 2015.

DM ,  diabetes mellitus as primary renal disease.
