Table 7 Cross-tab that shows how the distal radial fractures in the study were classified in the SFR (columns) and the gold standard classification (rows) respectively. The boxes on the diagonal (white boxes) represent cases with full agreement between the classification in the SFR and the gold standard classification, whereas boxes outside the diagonal represent disagreements. When the difference between two fracture groups depends on the answer to only one defining question, the fracture groups are regarded as related and the boxes are green. When two fracture groups are separated by the answer to more than one defining question, the fracture groups are regarded as unrelated and the boxes are red

  1. Path = pathological fracture, 0 = the reference group classified the case as no fracture, SFR = the classification in the Swedish Fracture Register, GS = gold standard classification
