  1. Distribution of information on affected limb in the CCR and the VCR, the number of same affected limb recorded in both sources and the correctness of the affected limb information in the CCR (with the VCR as gold standard) (evaluated for each specific case within diagnosis and then summarized within joint) for four joint diseases (n = 129) in a sample of visits at 18 horse clinics in Sweden during 2002.
  2. 1 Number of observations that had same information on affected limb noted in both sources
  3. 2 Evaluated for each specific case and then summarized within joint disease, for example of the 10 cases of fetlock inflammation in the CCR that had right fore limb only noted as affected limb, 9 had the same affected limb noted in both sources; correctness for affected limb information in the CCR (i.e. fetlock joint inflammation in right fore limb) was 90%.
  4. 3-No observations
