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

The database links administrative claims from approximately 3.4 million people with statutory health insurance in the German regions of Saxony and Thuringia​ with clinical data captured on approximately 2,000 patients with MS who received care at the Center of Clinical Neuroscience Dresden (ZKN). Due to the different catchment areas of the component data sources and the linked nature of the resulting database, an accurate percentage of MS patients covered cannot be calculated. Inclusion into the database is ongoing.

Description of the population covered by the data source in the catchment area whose data are not collected (e.g., people who are registered only for private care)

People who reside in German regions outside of Saxony or Thuringia, as well as those who receive statutory health insurance in those regions from providers other than AOK Plus, are not captured in the administrative claims data. Patients with MS who are treated at locations other than the Center of Clinical Neuroscience Dresden are not captured in the clinical data.
