The study does not attempt to test any specific a priori hypothesis; it is descriptive only. Data on general patient characteristics, health insurance details, participation in disease management programs and/or family doctor-centred care, diagnoses, prescriptions, surgeries, and procedures, used billable services and laboratory test results are documented during daily routine by the physician. The data used in this setting are part of routine visits, dating back a maximum of 24 months from the date of first data transfer within the study period.
