Lists of patients receiving repeat prescriptions for epilepsy, diabetes, thyroid disease and asthma were compared with chronic disease registers stored on seven practice computers. Diabetes was the most accurately recorded disease: the names of 72% of patients receiving medication for this condition appeared on the relevant disease registers. Agreement between the two data sources was 68% for thyroid disease, 58% for asthma and 49% for epilepsy. The levels of accuracy are not yet high enough for the computerised chronic disease registers to provide an accurate estimate of the prevalence of these conditions, but new system developments suggest a more optimistic outlook for the future.
将接受癫痫、糖尿病、甲状腺疾病和哮喘重复处方的患者名单与存储在七个医疗机构电脑中的慢性病登记册进行了比较。糖尿病是记录最准确的疾病:72%接受该疾病治疗的患者姓名出现在相关疾病登记册上。两种数据源之间的一致性,甲状腺疾病为68%,哮喘为58%,癫痫为49%。对于计算机化的慢性病登记册来说,这些准确性水平还不足以准确估计这些疾病的患病率,但新系统的开发为未来带来了更乐观的前景。
