The same diagnostic code was used (n = 294) | Slightly more precise information in the CCR (n = 12) | A diagnosis unrelated to the condition described by the VCR had been recorded in the CCR (n = 12) |

Diagnosis in the CCR was similar but less exact than the VCR (n = 1) | "Without diagnosis" in the CCR and specific information in the VCR (n = 17) | Â |
