“…Denmark is known for a consistently high annual incidence rate of candidaemia of 7.6-11.0 episodes per 100,000 inhabitants since nationwide surveillance was introduced in 2004. In comparison, annual rates of 3.9-4.4 episodes per 100,000 inhabitants have been reported in similar studies from neighbouring Scandinavian countries (Arendrup et al, 2013;Hesstvedt et al, 2017;Arendrup et al, 2008). Nationwide annual data from other countries are sparse and limited to Australia with 2.4 per 100,000 inhabitants (Chapman et al, 2017), and Scotland with 4.1 per 100,000 inhabitants (Rajendran et al, 2016).…”
