Norwegian Real-World Data about Diabetes

We are currently evaluating the differences in real-world data in Diabetes in a few countries, intrigued by this recent paper:

  • Bak, Jessica C. G., Erik H. Serné, Mark H. H. Kramer, Max Nieuwdorp, and Carianne L. Verheugt. “National Diabetes Registries: Do They Make a Difference?” Acta Diabetologica, August 8, 2020. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00592-020-01576-8.

Here is a publication regarding the Norwegian registry:

Here is a list of the available variables: https://fasttrak.dips.no/CRFShowRegistryVariables.asp?RegId=1&Title=Norsk%20Diabetesregister%20for%20voksne

Here is a list of the publication for the registry that we have been able to find.
