Abstract
Aims/hypothesis Our study aimed to describe the incidence of
type 1 diabetes in children below 15 years of age in Norway
during the period 1989?2012 and to assess the regional
variation during 2004?2012. We further set out to estimate
the completeness of ascertainment in the Norwegian
Childhood Diabetes Registry (NCDR).
Methods Incident cases of type 1 diabetes were registered in
the NCDR and incidence rates were modelled using Poisson
regression. Ascertainment for 2005?2008 was estimated using
capture?recapture methodology by using data from the
Norwegian Prescription Database (NorPD), a nationwide
register established in 2004, which included insulin prescribed
and dispensed at pharmacies to individual patients. Population
data were obtained from Statistics Norway.
