Figure 1 Flow chart for patients registered in the ASR and DCR in the period 1979–2008, with number of patients (N), reasons for exclusion, and distribution across registries. Includes patients only registered in the ASR (ASR/DCR), patients only registered in the DCR (DCR/ASR), and patients registered in both registries (ASR∩DCR).
