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

^aPatients <20 years of age are not reported. The true prevalent counts are therefore slightly higher than the counts reported here.

^bData on prevalence include dialysis patients only.

^cData on primary renal disease (DM) is based on 6888 dialysis patients (8.9%; total n = 77 311).

^dThe prevalence is underestimated by ∼1% due to one centre not submitting data since 2014.
