  1. CRE = Crisis-repair episode; % = Percentage among all CREs.
  2. aPattern 1 = jump in - jump out; bPattern 2 = jump in - slide out; cPattern 3 = slide in - jump out; (3a) = slide in without a jump (gradual downward trend only); (3b) = slide in including a jump; dPattern 4 = slide in - slide out; (4a) = slide in without a jump (gradual downward trend only); (4b) = slide in including a jump; eComplex pattern = Two or more ruptures are intermitted through a change of direction.
