Confidentiality - policy

Data Privacy Policy in Statistics Denmark is followed.

Confidentiality - data treatment

For bed days and readmissions discretion have been made, where municipalities with fewer than 5 observations (ie 1-4 observations) are discretioned. Municipalities with 0 observations will not be discretioned. When calculating frequencies where the denominator is between 5-9 the frequency is discretioned, because a frequency based on a low denominator often will be incorrect. The number of regional and country-level landings and bed days is rounded up / down to the nearest 5, as they are included at lower aggregation levels in municipality tables and may make it possible to figure out how many people hide behind a discretioned number. For readmissions, there is also rounded up / down to the nearest 5. The remaining statistics are published at a level that does not require discretion.
