Micro-data access

External access to de-identified micro-data is only available via Statistics Denmark’s Research Services.

Other

The health insurance register with de-identified micro-data exists in PSD (Statistics Denmark internal database) and as module data (SD internal database), and data can be made available to employees in e.g. Statistics Denmark’s Research Services and SD Consulting on application in this regard.

Confidentiality - policy

Publication from the register will be in accordance to the data privacy policy of Statistics Denmark: Data privacy policy.

Confidentiality - data treatment

The statistics have been anonymised using Tau-Argus, with a suppression threshold of 3 individuals. Tau-Argus does not only suppress cells with fewer than 3 individuals, but also those from which such small numbers can be indirectly derived. This is referred to as secondary suppression. However, the tables SYGPS1, SYGKS1, SYGUS1, SYGPS2, SYGKS2, and SYGUS2 are primarily suppressed.

Documentation on methodology

The basis and contents of the statistics are described (in Danish) in “Statistiske Efterretninger, Sociale forhold, sundhed og retsvæsen”. Statistical Information for 2012 is the last version of this. Furthermore, the content of the register of health insurance is documented (in Danish) in Statistics Denmark’s documentation system (TIMES) including selected variables such as Højkvalitetsdokumentation (high quality documentation): Højkvalitetsdokumentation.

Quality documentation

Results from the quality evaluation of products and selected processes are available in detail for each statistics and in summary reports for the Working Group on Quality.
