Incidence of Graves’ Disease with Validation and Completeness of the Diagnosis for Registry Extracts in the Danish National Patient Register
We report on a similar incidence of GD as previous studies in Denmark. Despite a high PPV, incident cases of GD could not adequately be identified by E05.0 in DNPR due to low completeness. Researchers should rely on biochemical test results to identify incident GD.
