    Health of vulnerable groups (Discontinued)

    Data for the statistics is retrieved from the registers for Vulnerable children and young persons, Visits to physicians etc. Hospitalisation rates. The statistical population is identical with the statistics for Vulnerable Children and Young Persons. A control population is created on the basis of the population register and includes the rest of the children and young persons aged 0-22 (at the beginning of the year). Data has been validated in advance for the individual set of statistics, which is why data is not further validated. The two generated populations are coupled with background data (Visits to physicians etc., Hospitalisation rates (and psychiatry) and the population (age, sex and municipality)). Age is age at the end of the year. Tables for Statbank Denmark are created crossing variables and removing sums where they are irrelevant. We have made no standardisation for age and sex.
