However, the validity of self-reported HZ is unclear. This study investigated the validity of self-reported herpes zoster (HZ) and its complication postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) using data from the pretest studies of the German National Cohort (GNC) in comparison with estimates based on health insurance data.Data of 4751 participants aged between 20 and 69 years from two pretest studies of the GNC carried out in 2011 and 2012 were used. Based on self-reports of physician-diagnosed HZ and PHN, age- and sex-specific HZ incidence rates and PHN proportions were estimated. For comparison, estimates based on statutory health insurance data from the German population were considered.Eleven percent (95%-CI, 10.4 to 12.3, n = 539) of the participants reported at least one HZ episode in their lifetime. Our estimated age-specific HZ incidence rates were lower than previous estimates based on statutory health insurance data. The PHN proportion in participants older than 50 years was 5.9% (1.9 to 13.9%), which was in line with estimates based on health insurance data.As age- and sex-specific patterns were comparable with that in health insurance data, self-reported diagnosis of HZ seems to be a valid instrument for overall disease trends. Possible reasons for observed differences in incidence rates are recall bias in self-reported data or overestimation in health insurance data. 000142928 536__ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF3-313$$a313 - Cancer risk factors and prevention (POF3-313)$$cPOF3-313$$fPOF III$$x0 000142928 588__ $$aDataset connected to CrossRef, PubMed, 000142928 7001_ $$aHorn, Johannes$$b1 000142928 7001_ $$aKarch, André$$b2 000142928 7001_ $$aAkmatov, Manas K$$b3 000142928 7001_ $$aBecher, Heiko$$b4 000142928 7001_ $$aBraun, Bettina$$b5 000142928 7001_ $$0P:(DE-He78)90d5535ff896e70eed81f4a4f6f22ae2$$aBrenner, Hermann$$b6$$udkfz 000142928 7001_ $$aCastell, Stefanie$$b7 000142928 7001_ $$aFischer, Beate$$b8 000142928 7001_ $$aGiani, Guido$$b9 000142928 7001_ $$aGünther, Kathrin$$b10 000142928 7001_ $$aHoffmann, Barbara$$b11 000142928 7001_ $$aJöckel, Karl-Heinz$$b12 000142928 7001_ $$aKeil, Thomas$$b13 000142928 7001_ $$aKlüppelholz, Birgit$$b14 000142928 7001_ $$aKrist, Lilian$$b15 000142928 7001_ $$aLeitzmann, Michael F$$b16 000142928 7001_ $$aLieb, Wolfgang$$b17 000142928 7001_ $$aLinseisen, Jakob$$b18 000142928 7001_ $$aMeisinger, Christa$$b19 000142928 7001_ $$aMoebus, Susanne$$b20 000142928 7001_ $$aObi, Nadia$$b21 000142928 7001_ $$aPischon, Tobias$$b22 000142928 7001_ $$aSchipf, Sabine$$b23 000142928 7001_ $$aSchmidt, Börge$$b24 000142928 7001_ $$aSievers, Claudia$$b25 000142928 7001_ $$aSteinbrecher, Astrid$$b26 000142928 7001_ $$aVölzke, Henry$$b27 000142928 7001_ $$aMikolajczyk, Rafael$$b28 000142928 773__ $$0PERI:(DE-600)2041550-3$$a10.1186/s12879-019-3691-2$$gVol. 19, no. 1, p. 99$$n1$$p99$$tBMC infectious diseases$$v19$$x1471-2334$$y2019 000142928 909CO $$ooai:inrepo02.dkfz.de:142928$$pVDB 000142928 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)2036810-0$$6P:(DE-He78)90d5535ff896e70eed81f4a4f6f22ae2$$aDeutsches Krebsforschungszentrum$$b6$$kDKFZ 000142928 9131_ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF3-313$$1G:(DE-HGF)POF3-310$$2G:(DE-HGF)POF3-300$$3G:(DE-HGF)POF3$$4G:(DE-HGF)POF$$aDE-HGF$$bGesundheit$$lKrebsforschung$$vCancer risk factors and prevention$$x0 000142928 9141_ $$y2019 000142928 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0100$$2StatID$$aJCR$$bBMC INFECT DIS : 2017 000142928 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0200$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bSCOPUS 000142928 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0300$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bMedline 000142928 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0310$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bNCBI Molecular Biology Database 000142928 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0320$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bPubMed Central 000142928 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0501$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bDOAJ Seal 000142928 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0500$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bDOAJ 000142928 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0030$$2StatID$$aPeer Review$$bDOAJ : Open peer review 000142928 915__ $$0LIC:(DE-HGF)CCBYNV$$2V:(DE-HGF)$$aCreative Commons Attribution CC BY (No Version)$$bDOAJ 000142928 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0600$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bEbsco Academic Search 000142928 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0030$$2StatID$$aPeer Review$$bASC 000142928 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0199$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bClarivate Analytics Master Journal List 000142928 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0111$$2StatID$$aWoS$$bScience Citation Index Expanded 000142928 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0150$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bWeb of Science Core Collection 000142928 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)9900$$2StatID$$aIF < 5 000142928 9201_ $$0I:(DE-He78)C070-20160331$$kC070$$lKlinische Epidemiologie und Alternsforschung$$x0 000142928 9201_ $$0I:(DE-He78)C120-20160331$$kC120$$lPräventive Onkologie$$x1 000142928 980__ $$ajournal 000142928 980__ $$aVDB 000142928 980__ $$aI:(DE-He78)C070-20160331 000142928 980__ $$aI:(DE-He78)C120-20160331 000142928 980__ $$aUNRESTRICTED
