The Danish Urogynaecological Database (DugaBase) is a nationwide clinical database established in 2006 to monitor, ensure and improve the quality of urogynaecological surgery. We aimed to describe its establishment and completeness and to validate selected variables. This is the first study based on data from the DugaBase. ⋯ The database completeness of the DugaBase has improved over time, now with a nearly complete registration from all public hospitals in Denmark. The overall percent agreement between selected variables and medical records is high. We conclude that due to the high degree of database completeness and data of high validity the DugaBase offers a unique possibility for continuing quality assessment of urogynaecological surgery in Denmark and future research.
