Public and private stakeholders, as well as the general population, can use the statistics to extract data on the population’s hospital utilisation for various analyses, research, public debate, etc. The statistics make it possible to produce figures for specific diagnosis groups and to link information on hospital utilisation with sociodemographic factors such as place of residence, education, labour market attachment, and origin. This is made possible by linking data from the National Patient Register with population register data from Statistics Denmark.
User Needs
The statistics are used by a wide range of users, including municipalities, regions, ministries, organisations, private companies, and individuals. They are used, among other things, for public planning purposes, analyses, research, reports, and public debate.
