Area of Science:

  • Public health research
  • Epidemiology
  • Gynaecology

Background:

  • Denmark's unique personal identification system and comprehensive national health registers offer significant opportunities for epidemiological research.
  • The National Register of Patients, Birth Registry, IVF-registry, Cancer Registry, and National Prescription Database enable robust data linkage.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the potential of Danish health registers for epidemiological studies in gynaecology.
  • To showcase contributions to morbidity analyses, pharmacoepidemiological studies, and clinical quality assessment.

Main Methods:

  • Leveraging national health registers for data linkage.
  • Conducting epidemiological analyses on specific gynaecological and reproductive health outcomes.

Main Results:

  • Danish epidemiology has successfully conducted morbidity analyses for in vitro fertilisation (IVF)-conceived children.
  • Pharmacoepidemiological studies have investigated the effects of oral contraceptives and hormone therapy.
  • Routine clinical quality assessment is now being performed.

Conclusions:

  • Denmark's infrastructure is highly conducive to advanced epidemiological research in gynaecology.
  • The national health registers provide a powerful tool for understanding reproductive health and treatment outcomes.
