The Danish Psychiatric Central Register contains information dating from the 19th century; data were collected systematically from 1938. As of 1969 data on psychiatric admissions has been computerized and includes all admissions to psychiatric hospitals and psychiatric wards in general hospitals in Denmark, the Faroe Islands, and Greenland. Since January 1, 1995 information about all psychiatric outpatient contacts has been included. Among the advantages of the register are the close collaboration with the reporting hospitals and departments as well as its organization within the psychiatric epidemiological and social psychiatric research unit, Department of Psychiatric Demography. This has resulted in an intensive utilization of data from the register for research both in the department in other Danish and international research institutes the latter performed in collaboration with the department. Register research ranges from simple studies on prevalence to exploration of the longitudinal course in mental diseases, analyses of secular trends in different groups of disorders and recent linkage studies of risk factors for mental disorders. Recently, large data bases on the basis of data from The Psychiatric Central Register and from a number of other health related registers have been established. A linkage between The Psychiatric Central Register and various social registers is developing as is the development of quality assurance data bases.
丹麦精神病学中央登记册包含可追溯至19世纪的信息；数据自1938年开始系统收集。截至1969年，精神病住院数据已实现计算机化，涵盖丹麦、法罗群岛和格陵兰所有精神病院及综合医院精神科病房的所有住院病例。自1995年1月1日起，所有精神科门诊接触信息也被纳入其中。该登记册的优势包括与报告医院及科室密切合作，以及在精神病人口统计学系的精神病流行病学和社会精神病学研究部门内进行组织。这使得该登记册的数据在该部门以及其他丹麦和国际研究机构得到了深入研究利用，后者与该部门合作开展研究。登记册研究范围广泛，从简单的患病率研究到精神疾病纵向病程探索、不同疾病组长期趋势分析以及近期精神障碍危险因素的关联研究。最近，基于精神病学中央登记册和其他一些与健康相关登记册的数据建立了大型数据库。精神病学中央登记册与各种社会登记册之间的关联正在发展，质量保证数据库也在不断发展。
