Noncommunicable disease incidences in 2012-2017, Turkey

ConclusionsRegardless of the difficulties in comparing incidence of NCD with other countries, we think our results show that hypertension, diabetes, stroke and CHD have higher incidence than Western European countries. We also showed that these metrics can be obtained through data linkage of National Health Records for the first time in Turkey.Key messagesThe NCDs needs to be monitored by surveillance using the current data sources for health services.This data can provide very useful information regularly to monitor and control NCDs if necessary actions are taken to adjust data management.
