Description topics

Persons with medicines, relative
Number of persons to whom medicines are dispensed in the year concerned that are reimbursed under the statutory basic medical insurance, expressed as a percentage of the total population of the category concerned registered in the Basic Registration of Persons (BRP) in that year.
Defined daily doses (DDD), relative
Defined Daily Dose (DDD) is de door de WHO vastgestelde gemiddelde dagelijkse dosis van een geneesmiddel, wanneer het geneesmiddel wordt ingezet voor de hoofdindicatie, bij een onderhoudsbehandeling voor volwassenen. Deze definitie maakt het mogelijk om het gebruik van verschillende toedieningsvormen en verschillende middelen met elkaar te vergelijken.
