Stockholm Prostate Cancer Diagnostics Register (STHLM0)
STHLM0 is a population-based registry that was developed to collect demographic, clinical, and patient-outcomes information in Stockholm, Sweden. STHLM0 includes approximately 550,000 men (as of December 2021) who have undertaken prostate cancer diagnostic testing in Stockholm since 2003, regardless of the outcome of testing, with a total of 2,777,183 prostate cancer tests recorded. Records are updated annually in December. Once participants are automatically entered into STHLM0, they are provided with follow-ups, at no specific intervals, as frequency is based on the laboratories and registries linked. The continuation of this registry has been marked as endless.
