Comparing Methods for Classification of Hospital Visits in the Danish National Patient Registry (DNPR): DNPR3 Versus DNPR2
We recommend using the same algorithm across DNPR2 and DNPR3. The choice of algorithm should be based on the disease or patient group being studied and by considering how the approaches reflect reality and need in the actual study. We recommend the algorithm suggested by Skjøth et al for the specific clinical situations presented in this study.
