Anomalies detected in files

Please note that some files may contain anomalies due to data collection difficulties.

Error reports are published daily by Etalab in the Community resources section:
- Error report for the daily file;
- Error report for the weekly file.

Please note that:
- For some patients, the age group was not identified in the database. This may lead to a mismatch between the sum of all age classes of an indicator and the total number of that indicator;
- For some patients, sex was not identified in the database. This may lead to a mismatch between the sum of H/F of an indicator and the total number of that indicator.

Feel free to report any other anomalies in your comments. These comments will be communicated to the team in charge of data collection and dissemination.
