脑膜炎球菌病（MCD）在丹麦的两个基于人群的信息系统中进行了登记，因为对长期监测作为跟踪趋势的手段以及化学预防和疫苗接种等公共卫生干预感兴趣。这两个制度分别是传染病呈报制度（NSCD）和住院病人出院登记制度（HDR）。本研究的目的是评估两种系统在丹麦北日德兰郡14年期间的数据质量。根据MCD的诊断标准对两个系统中登记的所有患者记录进行了审查。此外，还审查了当地临床微生物科的记录，所有微生物学检查都是在那里进行的。HDR系统的完备度为89.8%，NSCD系统的完备度为92.2%。住院HDR共登记296例，但符合MCD标准的只有254例（85.8%）。在呈报系统中，共有273宗个案登记，但只有261宗（95.6%）符合MCD的标准。一项捕获-再捕获分析显示，有一到两个病例显然逃过了登记。
Meningococcal disease (MCD) is registered in two population-based information systems in Denmark because of the interest in long-term surveillance as a means of following trends, and in public health intervention such as chemoprophylaxis and vaccination. The two systems are the Notifiable System of Communicable Diseases (NSCD) and the Hospital Discharge Register for in-patients (HDR). The aim of the present study was to assess the data quality of the two systems over a 14-year period in the County of Northern Jutland, Denmark. All records of patients registered in the two systems were reviewed with respect to the criteria for the diagnosis of MCD. In addition, records from the local clinical microbiology department, where all microbiological examinations were carried out, were reviewed. The degree of completeness for the HDR system was 89.8% and for the NSCD system was 92.2%. In the in-patient HDR, 296 cases were registered, but only 254 cases (85.8%) fulfilled the criteria for MCD. In the notifiable system, 273 cases were registered, but only 261 cases (95.6%) fulfilled the criteria for MCD. A capture-recapture analysis showed that one to two cases apparently escaped registration.
