N2  - Introduction: The Danish Injury Register was established in 1988 and is based on injury case records from four Danish hospitals (five hospitals until 2007). Content: In total, 1.76 million cases were recorded during 1990-2008. Data items include the place of the accident, mechanism of injury, involved products, type of sports, and description of the accident. Validity and coverage: The register covers approximately 15% of the Danish population and is roughly representative for the whole Denmark in terms of age, sex, and social groups. CONCLUSION: The Danish Injury Register is a valuable source of information on injuries in Denmark, in particular product-related injuries and sports injuries. Further, the possibility to link to other registers increases the use of the data.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
