  1. ICD-10 = International Classification of Diseases
  2. FA status was defined as the top decile of attenders (frequent attender 10%, FA10), p < 0.001 in all values
  3. 1-year-FA = Patients that were in the top decile of attenders in one of the study years (2014, 2015 or 2016)
  4. 2-year-FA = Patients that were in the top decile in any two study years (2014, 2015 or 2016)
  5. pFA = Patients that were in the top decile in all three study years (2014, 2015 and 2016)
  6. non-FA = Patients that were never in the top decile were considered as a reference group, non-frequent attenders
  7. In the table are presented the 10 largest ICD-10 groups
