Registries and linking procedures used in this study have been described in detail previously [ 17].
The International Classification of Functioning Disability and Health ICFF) linking procedures were performed according to established linking rules [ 27, 28].

The study biostatistician will have responsibility for structuring the primary datasets, data linking procedures, variable naming conventions, codebooks, and documentation.
Schuurman et al. [ 32] describe the catchment creation and population linking procedures in greater detail in a study of access to hospitals in BC.
