Background: The Danish National Hospital Medication Register (DHMR), one of the first nationwide in-hospital medication registries in the world, contains detailed information on medication administration and dispensing.
Objective: To provide an overview of the information recorded in the DHMR and to highlight its strengths and limitations as a pharmacoepidemiological research tool.
Methods: We reviewed the registry´s geographic and clinical specialty coverage and medications recorded according to the main groups of the Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical classification system.
Background: Knowledge is sparse on the impact of type 2 diabetes (T2D) on surgical outcomes after breast cancer surgery. This study investigated the association between T2D and risk of complications after primary breast cancer surgery, and evaluated the biological interaction between T2D and co-morbidities.
Methods: Using the Danish Breast Cancer Group clinical database, a cohort of all Danish women diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer during 1996-2022 was created.
