Danish Disease Trajectory shows progression of Alzheimers in Down Syndrome people

Contact tracing is a crucial issue during any pandemic, but researchers at the University of Copenhagen have created a projection method that looks at the traffic patterns of disease development.  “.  . . we have constructed The Danish Disease Trajectory Browser (DTB) that lets users, e.g. researchers, trialists and clinicians, explore longitudinal population-wide disease progression patterns from the entire population of Denmark. The browser is based on data spanning the period January 1994 to April 2018 and comprises electronic health data on 7.2 million Danes representing a total of 122 million admissions during the almost 25-year long period. Denmark implemented its unique person identification number in 1968 making it possible to track disease development continuously across all hospitals at the level of individuals.”  MORE
