and audit data to 2011
It has come to our attention that an error has been made in the method of calculating the standardised incidence of new patients starting RRT in Scotland, and in the age standardised prevalence of patients receiving RRT on 31 December 2010 in the Scottish Renal Registry Report 2010.
The sections affected were A1.2, B3.6 and B3.7. We have corrected the error and a revised version of the Report is available below. The original version of the Report has been removed from the website and recipients of printed and electronic copies of the Report have been notified.
We very much regret this error of analysis and apologise to users of the Report.
