Abstract

Task 1 of WP3 is described in the EU Contract as: " The similarities and differences between the three hospital based systems will be reviewed. Key aspects include:- 1. Identification of the system (system identification properties, such as name/acronym, owner/institute and general description of the system, including area covered and history) 2. Structure (structural properties such as annual number of cases, main features of the system) 3. Sampling and selection criteria 4. Methodologies (how the data are gathered, what protocols are used, which classification systems are applied) 5. Content (listing of data elements, variables and their definitions) 6. Application (List of publications concerning the systems, results of analyses based on the data, their representativeness etc.). " To carry out Task 1, SWOV developed a written (electronic) enquiry (ANNEX 1) which was sent to, and completed by all three partners (ASPB, INRETS, SWOV). A meeting between the three partners was held in July, 2003 in order to discuss preliminary results, set-up of the Deliverable, and future activities. A second enquiry was developed by SWOV, and sent to other partners involved in PENDANT, in order to get information about existing hospital registrations in those other countries. This part of the project was voluntarily added to task 1 at the Kick-off meeting of Pendant. (Author/publisher)
