The Swedish ICD-8 was introduced in 1969

This is to inform the readers of this paper that there is an error in Figure 1. The Swedish ICD-8 classification ("Klassifikation av sjukdomar 1968") was PUBLISHED in 1968, but ICD-8 per se was INTRODUCED in 1969. Hence, ICD-7 was used throughout year 1968, and ICD-8 was used from 1969. See also: Bj��rn Smedby, Gunnar Schi��ler: Health Classifications in the Nordic countries.
