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

^aPatients <20 years 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 the prevalence by cause of kidney failure (DM) is based on 8904 dialysis patients (11.0% of total).

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