Document: An important advantage of the NAHLN database was that one may expect that almost every single SECD diagnosis in the US was included there.

This limitation would be easily overcome by promoting the inclusion of PINs in laboratory sample submissions, although such implementation would require active education of US practitioners on the importance of recording such information on their submission forms (21) .
