Data from national health registers as endpoints for the Troms ø Study: Correctness and completeness of stroke diagnoses
CONCLUSIONS: Data from the Norwegian Patient Register and from the linked data set between the Norwegian Patient Register and the Norwegian Stroke Register had acceptable levels of correctness and completeness to be considered as endpoint sources for the Tromsø Study Cardiovascular Disease Register. The benefits of using data from national registers as endpoints in epidemiological studies must be weighed against the impact of potentially decreased data quality.PMID:34120523 | DOI:10.1177/14034948211021191
