Abstract
It is possible to define patients with a chronic florid wound on the basis of wound-relevant treatments using SHI data and to make estimates of administrative prevalence. Depending on the question, the criteria for defining cases can be narrowed down or broadened. The comparison provides information on the internal validity of diagnostic coding. However, further studies are needed to verify external validity.
