The prevalence of diabetes in Denmark is unknown. The purpose of the present article was to describe the possibilities of developing a method to identify individuals with diagnosed diabetes in Denmark on the basis of existing national registers.
Record linkage of data from The Danish National Hospital Register, The Danish National Health Service Register and The Register of Medicinal Product Statistics.
A minimum of 130,000 individuals in Denmark are estimated to have diabetes as on December 31, 1999.
The possibility of developing a monitoring programme from existing data in registers seems to be present. If a validated monitoring programme is developed, this can not only be used to estimate the prevalence of diabetes, but also for a continuous monitoring of diabetes-related services.
丹麦糖尿病的患病率尚不清楚。本文的目的是描述基于现有的国家登记册开发一种识别丹麦已确诊糖尿病患者的方法的可能性。
丹麦国家医院登记册、丹麦国家卫生服务登记册和药品统计登记册的数据记录链接。
据估计，截至1999年12月31日，丹麦至少有13万人患有糖尿病。
利用登记册中的现有数据制定监测计划似乎是可行的。如果开发出一个经过验证的监测计划，它不仅可以用于估计糖尿病的患病率，还可以用于对糖尿病相关服务进行持续监测。
