Study population.

<p>Description of the GPs in the five (A, B, C, D, E) pairs of samples (HS, measured by means of clinical data, and VALORE, measured by means of healthcare administrative data). Description of the general population they have in charge (general population), of diabetic patients (Diabetes), of patients with ischaemic heart disease (IHD) and of patients with heart failure (HF). N GP: number of GPs in the study. N populations: number of inhabitants registered with the GPs in the study. N patients: total number of patients with the chronic disease registered with GPs in the study. N registered per GP: average number of persons in charge to each GP, with test for difference in means within each pair. Female: percentage of women in the population, with test for difference in means within each pair. Age band: age distribution of the population, with chi square test within each pair.</p

Box-plots of the distribution of indicators of quality of care for diabetes (2 indicators), IHD (3 indicators) and HF (3 indicators) in 5 pairs of samples of GPs.

<p>Each pair contains the distribution obtained from the VALORE data (dark gray) and the distribution obtained from HSD data (light gray). For each indicator the pair of samples are ordered according to the median value in the VALORE sample.</p
