Abstract

Background: The Copenhagen General Practice Laboratory (CGPL) was founded in 1922 to provide paraclinical analyses to the primary health-care sector in Copenhagen. At the end of 2015, CGPL was closed and the CopLab database was established to make CGPL data available for research.
Methods: We isolated tests performed at the CGPL with clinically relevant test results. The database was linked to national registers containing health, social, and demographic information. Results are presented with descriptive statistics showing counts, percentages, medians, and interquartile ranges (IQR).
Results: The CopLab database includes 1,373,643 unique individuals from primary care with test results from laboratory analyses of blood/urine/semen as well as cardiac and lung function tests collected by CGPL from greater Copenhagen from 2000 to 2015. The CopLab database holds nearly all test results requested by general practitioners throughout years 2000 to 2015 for residents in the greater Copenhagen area. The median age of the individuals was 51 years and 59.7% were females. Each individual has a median of 4 requisitions. More than 1 million participants are currently alive and living in Denmark and may be followed in national registries such as the Danish National Patient Registry, Laboratory Database, National Prescription Database etc.

哥本哈根初级保健实验室（CopLab）数据库

背景：哥本哈根全科实验室（Copenhagen General Practice Laboratory，CGPL）成立于1922年，为哥本哈根的初级医疗保健部门提供准临床分析。2015 年底，CGPL 关闭，CopLab 数据库建立，CGPL 数据可供研究使用：我们分离了在CGPL进行的具有临床相关检验结果的检验。该数据库与包含健康、社会和人口信息的国家登记册相链接。结果显示了描述性统计数字，包括计数、百分比、中位数和四分位数间距（IQR）：CopLab数据库包括1,373,643名来自基层医疗机构的独特个体，他们的检测结果来自CGPL从2000年至2015年在大哥本哈根地区收集的血液/尿液/精液实验室分析以及心脏和肺功能检测。CopLab 数据库收录了 2000 年至 2015 年期间全科医生为大哥本哈根地区居民申请的几乎所有检验结果。这些人的年龄中位数为 51 岁，59.7% 为女性。每个人的申请次数中位数为 4 次。目前有 100 多万名参与者在丹麦生活和居住，并可在丹麦国家患者登记处、实验室数据库、国家处方数据库等国家登记处进行跟踪。

期刊介绍： Clinical Epidemiology is an international, peer reviewed, open access journal. Clinical Epidemiology focuses on the application of epidemiological principles and questions relating to patients and clinical care in terms of prevention, diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment. Clinical Epidemiology welcomes papers covering these topics in form of original research and systematic reviews. Clinical Epidemiology has a special interest in international electronic medical patient records and other routine health care data, especially as applied to safety of medical interventions, clinical utility of diagnostic procedures, understanding short- and long-term clinical course of diseases, clinical epidemiological and biostatistical methods, and systematic reviews. When considering submission of a paper utilizing publicly-available data, authors should ensure that such studies add significantly to the body of knowledge and that they use appropriate validated methods for identifying health outcomes. The journal has launched special series describing existing data sources for clinical epidemiology, international health care systems and validation studies of algorithms based on databases and registries.
