Table 3 Recruitment performance of study sites of the Cross-Sectoral Platform (SUEP) and High-Resolution Platform (HAP). The recruited patients and number of study sites are given in absolute numbers. The average recruitment performance per study site is reflected by the ratio of the patient’s recruitment and the number of study sites of the respective platform and health sectors. The number of patients recruited by high-performing (HP) and low-performing (LP) study sites is given in absolute numbers and as a proportion within their group
