AB  - To assess the validity of patient self-reported oral health measures as used in a large multi-country survey for populations aged 50+.Information on people's oral health status is important for assessing oral health needs within populations. However, clinical examination is not always possible. Patient self-reported measures may provide an alternative when time and other resources are scarce.Using oral health items from the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE), self-reported measures were collected from 186 patients receiving treatment at Heidelberg University Hospital. Self-reports were compared with subsequent clinical examinations. Analyses were conducted for patients of all age groups and separately for patients aged 50+ (analogous to the SHARE study population). Diagnostic accuracy, agreement and correlation of patient-reported information were examined using descriptive statistics and Bland-Altman plots.Patient-reported presence or absence of a full tooth count was closely related to clinical measurement, both for all age groups (sensitivity: 93
