To conduct a systematic review of studies investigating the validity of administrative registers for use in psychiatric research.
Studies were identified using MEDLINE (1966-2004) and EMBASE (1980-2004) databases using keywords 'validity' or 'reliability' combined with 'register' or 'database$'. Studies reviewed by two raters blind to each other and quality assessed using a data extraction form devised by the authors. A narrative description of the findings is presented.
Fourteen studies were identified, seven of which concerned Scandinavian registers. Ten studies were solely concerned with diagnostic validity and the most common single diagnosis studied was schizophrenia (five studies). Methods used and study quality varied widely.
Given the importance of the area, relatively little high-quality work exists into systematically measuring the diagnostic data validity of registers for research purposes.
对调查行政登记册用于精神病学研究有效性的研究进行系统评价。
使用MEDLINE（1966 - 2004年）和EMBASE（1980 - 2004年）数据库，通过将关键词“有效性”或“可靠性”与“登记册”或“数据库$”相结合来识别研究。由两名互不了解情况的评估人员对研究进行评审，并使用作者设计的数据提取表对质量进行评估。对研究结果进行了叙述性描述。
共识别出14项研究，其中7项涉及斯堪的纳维亚登记册。10项研究仅关注诊断有效性，研究最多的单一诊断是精神分裂症（5项研究）。所使用的方法和研究质量差异很大。
鉴于该领域的重要性，针对研究目的系统测量登记册诊断数据有效性的高质量研究相对较少。
