      abstract     = {Until now, herpes zoster (HZ)-related disease burden in
                      Germany has been estimated based on health insurance data
                      and clinical findings. 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.},
