Abstract
The Danish Occupational Medicine Cohort was established to conduct long-term follow-up for large groups of patients with work-related disease.
The cohort comprises a national database of all patients assessed at Danish departments of occupational medicine from 2000 to 2018. Inclusion is determined by the first referral for assessment from 2000 on, comprising 145 390 patients (age range: 16–97 years) with a total of 169 197 assessments.
Data were collected through Statistics Denmark where all patients were identified through the Danish National Patient Register (DNPR). The DNPR contains administrative and clinical data reported by hospital departments. The cohort is updated regularly and contains a broad range of register information such as work status, yearly job and industry types, health care service use, education, income, job exposure matrices, death and cause of death.
