Sensitivity and specificity of 11 patient-reported chronic diseases were estimated with hospital administrative data as reference standard.<h4>Results</h4>Specificity was high (> 90%) for all 11 chronic diseases. However, sensitivity varied by disease with the highest found for 'diabetes' (87.5%) and 'high blood pressure' (74.3%) and lowest for 'kidney disease' (18.8%) and 'leg pain due to poor circulation' (26.1%).
