| Abstract |
Electronic prescription registers provide a vast data source for pharmacoepidemiological research. Prescriptions as such are not suitable for all research purposes; e.g., studying concurrent use of different drugs or adverse drug events during current use. For those purposes, data on dispensed prescriptions needs to be transformed to periods of drug use. |
