Positive Predictive Values of Familial Hypercholesterolemia Diagnoses in the Danish National Patient Registry and the Danish Familial Hypercholesterolemia Registry – A Validation Study

The validity of FH cases in the DFH was high, while the validity of an FH diagnosis in the DNPR was relatively low. However, restricting the analysis to a primary diagnosis obtained from cardiological departments may be used to improve the validity of FH diagnoses in the DNPR.

Abstract

The validity of FH cases in the DFH was high, while the validity of an FH diagnosis in the DNPR was relatively low. However, restricting the analysis to a primary diagnosis obtained from cardiological departments may be used to improve the validity of FH diagnoses in the DNPR.
