Amendments and implementation of new procedures
Year* Description**
2017
- Data from SCB (until Dec 2016) were used as the primary source for death and emigration dates, a few death dates may originate from NAVET (until March 2015), PopregRS (until Nov 2016) or SoS.
2011
- Information of reused (återanvända) Personal Identity Numbers (PIN) was taken into account, diagnoses appearing after the date of death of an MDC participating individual were removed.
- For individuals with changed PINs, data with the new PIN (death, emigration, diagnoses) were included in the endpoint update.
- Date of death as given by SCB has been used (previously dates from SoS were used)
- One individual in the MDC cohort (not in EPIC) was identified with two different PINs, the latest PIN was removed. The new MDC cohort number is 30 446.

_{^{* The year when the endpoint update and this endpoint report is finalized, usually last follow-up date is the year before.
** NAVET = National registration data by The Swedish Tax Agency; SCB = Statistics Sweden SoS = The National Board of Health and Welfare; PopregRS = Population register Region Skåne}}
