Estimated percentage of the population covered by the data source in the catchment area

Approx. 10.5 Million insurees are included in the database, 7.8 Million of these actively insured in 2024. This corresponds to 7% of the total German population.
(26/28) Our database does not contain a direct distinction between preterm and term newborns. Additionally, date of birth are only respresented on a quarterly level. We therefore counted all individuals under 2 years of age within the "infants and toddlers (28 days to 23 months)" section.
