Vanhommerig, J.W., Verheij, R.A., Hek, K., Ramerman, L., Hooiveld, M., Veldhuijzen, N.J., Veldkamp, R., Dronkelaar, C. van, Stelma, F.F., Knottnerus, B.J., Meijer, W.M., Hasselaar, J., Overbeek, L. Data Resource Profile: Nivel Primary Care Database (Nivel-PCD), The Netherlands. International Journal of Epidemiology: 2025, 54(2), p. Art. nr. dyaf017.
Key Features
- Nivel Primary Care Database (Nivel-PCD) contains longitudinal, pseudonymized, linkable extracts from electronic health record (EHR) data of general practitioners (GPs), out-of-hours (OOH) GP services, physiotherapy practices, exercise therapy practices, speech therapy practices, and dietitian practices in the Netherlands.
- These primary care providers periodically supply Nivel-PCD (through their EHR software provider) with extracts of EHR data, including contacts, health problems, treatment, measurements, and referrals to secondary care.
- The coverage in 2023 was 1.8 million persons registered at 409 GPs, 12.3 million people living in a catchment area of 26 OOH-GP services, 970 000 patients who were treated in 508 physiotherapy practices, 25 000 patients in 116 exercise therapy practices, 54 000 patients in 175 speech therapy practices, and 68 000 patients in 83 dietitian practices.
- Data are available at contact levels from 2011 onwards, can be aggregated to any other overarching level (e.g. individual, practice, region), and are linkable with other data sources such as secondary care, social care, or social economic data.
- The unique combination of integrated data from various primary care disciplines in the Netherlands provides unique opportunities for research. Data are accessible upon request for bona fide researchers worldwide; researchers can file a data request through nivel.nl/en/our-databases-and-panels/nivel-primary-care-database.
