Table 1.
Percentage of active surveillance components (number of recorded components/total number of recorded components) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) by surveillance design variables for all ten study countries, stratified by whether countries were partners of the EU-FP7 RISKSUR project or not. Components comprised active surveillance components implemented in 2011. Categories, for which confidence intervals between partner and non-partner countries did not overlap, are highlighted in grey
