Predictive value of stroke discharge diagnoses in the Danish National Patient Register.

We therefore recommend the critical use of non-validated register data for research on stroke. The possibility of optimising the predictive values based on more advanced algorithms should be considered. PMID: 28701076 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
