“…We examined the annual reports provided by the German Federal Monitoring System (Bohm and Taubmann 2004) from 2008 to 2013. This is an annual compilation of inpatient discharge diagnoses, using ICD-10 (World Health Organization 1992) criteria, from every hospital (excluding forensic/police hospitals) in Germany.…”

BackgroundDespite growing consensus on nosology and epidemiology of bipolar disorder (BD) in minors, differences remain. We contribute to this discussion by measuring long-term trends in the inpatient discharge rates of BD in minors.MethodsNationwide German inpatient discharge diagnoses of BD and other related psychiatric disorders were mapped between 2008 and 2013 using registry data from the German Federal Health Monitoring System. This was compared with previously published data, 2000–2007, to assess long-term trends in diagnosis of BD at discharge. Long-term trends (2000–2013) were also computed.ResultsDischarge diagnosis of BD increased by 18% (2.02–2.46 per 100,000) in minors. There was a significant increase of 24.1% in adolescents 15–19 years old (6.56–8.14 per 100,000). BD, at discharge, as a proportion of all psychiatric disorders, increased from 0.26% in 2008 to 0.27% in 2013. When analysing long-term trends (2000–2013), the rates for BD increased significantly as did trends for all mental disorders, except for psychotic disorders, which fell by almost 14%. Between 2000 and 2013, the rate for depression in minors increased by 730%.LimitationsThe dataset consisted of cross-sectional administrative data points with diagnoses based on clinical criteria.ConclusionsThe rate of BD as a discharge diagnosis in German minors has increased significantly, consistently exceeding the general trend for a rise in rates for mental disorders. Overall, the rate of discharge diagnosis of BD from inpatient units in Germany remains a small proportion of all psychiatric diagnoses.

Herpes zoster in Germany: Quantifying the burden of disease

et al. 2011

BackgroundHerpes zoster (HZ) is caused by a reactivation of the varicella-zoster-virus (VZV) and mainly affects individuals aged ≥ 50 years. Vaccines have been licensed or are under development that can protect against HZ and its main complication postherpetic neuralgia (PHN). In Germany, the burden of disease caused by HZ is not well known. To support the decision making process related to a potential vaccination recommendation, we estimated annual HZ disease burden in people aged ≥ 50 years in Germany by utilizing various data sources.MethodsWe assessed for 2007 and 2008 HZ-outpatient incidence (number of cases per 1,000 person-years, PY) by utilizing the Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians (ASHIP) database, which contains nationwide routine outpatient data. For the same time period annual number of HZ-inpatients and HZ-associated deaths were identified by using the Federal Health Monitoring System (FHM). PHN-incidence and loss of quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) caused by HZ were calculated by multiplying number of identified HZ-patients with upper and lower limit estimates for proportion of HZ-cases developing PHN and HZ-related QALY, respectively.ResultsFor the study period we identified an annual average of 306,511 HZ-outpatients aged 50+, resulting in a HZ-incidence of 9.6/1,000 PY. A total 14,249 HZ-associated inpatients and 66 deaths were reported in both years on average. HZ-incidence increased by age from 6.21 in people 50-54 years to 13.19 per 1,000 PY in people aged ≥ 90 years. Females were significantly more frequently affected than males in terms of outpatient HZ-incidence (11.12 vs. 7.8 per 1,000 PY), inpatient HZ-incidence (0.51 vs. 0.38 per 1,000 PY) and mortality (0.29 vs. 0.10 per 100,000 PY). PHN-incidence was estimated to range between 0.43 and 1.33 per 1,000 PY. Based on these figures, there were between 3,065 to 24,094 QALYs lost due to HZ in persons aged ≥ 50 years in Germany per annum.ConclusionOur study provides important baseline estimates for HZ-related disease burden in Germany. HZ poses a considerable burden on the health care system in Germany both in terms of outpatient and inpatient services. Follow-up assessments of HZ disease burden are needed to monitor the impact of VZV-vaccinations in Germany.

The information system of the Federal Health Monitoring System (http://www.gbe-bund.de) offers as an online database a wide range of coordinated health information in words and figures. High-performance software tools allow the information to be researched, analyzed flexibly, and downloaded onto the user's own PC for subsequent processing. At present, the core of the information system represents more than 650 million data from more than 100 data sources, combined in sensible indicators. Clearly arranged diagrams, easy-to-understand texts, and precise definitions complete the offer. Documentations contain additional information on more than 200 data sources, features of surveys, methodological questions of surveys, and contact persons.
