Validation of intracranial hemorrhage in the Norwegian Patient  Registry
ConclusionCoding of ICH discharge diagnoses in the NPR is of high quality, showing that data from this registry can safely be used for medical research. Administrative and clinical health registries are established to monitor and manage healthcare services. Data from these registries can be used in epidemiological studies as they are easily obtained, include high number of patients, and provide both high external validity and statistical power. However, in order to be useful in research, health registries need to have accurate diagnoses and sufficient coverage in the population they serve. We validated coding of intracran...

Thirty ‐day readmission after spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage
ConclusionsAlmost one in five of our spontaneous ICH survivors was readmitted within 30 days, and most readmissions were caused by infections. Almost one in five of our spontaneous ICH survivors were readmitted within 30 days. Most readmissions were caused by infections.
