Abstract
Abstract An attempt will be made, wherever the original data allow, to make explicit the scope of the diseases covered by the data in a given study. (All code category numbers in the text refer to the above lists.) The reader should be aware that not only is this not always possible; changes in diagnostic criteria as well as in classification over time mean that often the same label does not refer to the same phenomenon.
