[Estimations of incidences of mental disorders in statutory health insurance routine data: methodology and trends from 2006 to 2022].

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Routine data from statutory health insurance (SHI) are to be used for the surveillance of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) at the Robert Koch Institute (RKI), including for the estimation of administrative incidences of mental disorders. The aim of the study is to identify a methodology that is as sensitive and practicable as possible.

Methods

Using data available from 2005 onwards from the BARMER health insurance fund, with which approximately 10% of the German population was insured, cumulative incidences were determined for the years 2006 to 2022 after gradual exclusion of persons with previous diagnoses in 1 to 17 previous years for depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia spectrum disorders, and mental disorders with uniform population-based standardiza
