- This research has been conducted using the AHON-database, with the support of [list of AHON personnel that supported the research]. The AHON-database is an ongoing longitudinal database which aims to give insight into medical care provided in general practices in the North of the Netherlands. Starting in 1998, pseudonymized patient records have been added to the AHON-database every three months from a growing number of participating general practices. Patients are informed by their general practices via folders, posters, and websites of their participation in the AHON-database. Individual patients can fill out an opt-out form in order to not have their data recorded in the AHON-database.
