SCB (Statistics Sweden) - LISA database

Details

This dataset combines yearly files from Statistics Sweden's LISA database for the years 2012-2018. LISA (Longitudinal Integration Database for Health Insurance and Labour Market Studies) is a comprehensive database that integrates information from various registers to provide detailed socioeconomic data.

The data includes demographic information, education, employment, income sources, and various social benefits. This provides a comprehensive picture of patients' socioeconomic circumstances over time.

The patient identifiers in the SCB files (lopnr) are mapped to the standard patient_id used in the SEM cohort study using a key file (SCB_Ekelund_LEV_Nyckel.csv), ensuring consistent patient identification across all datasets.

Note

Several variables have coding systems that may require reference to SCB documentation for complete interpretation, including:
- education_level (Sun2000niva) - Swedish educational nomenclature
- education_field (Sun2000Inr) - Field of education codes
- occupation_code (Ssyk4_J16) - Swedish Standard Classification of Occupations
- socioeconomic_group (YSEG) - Socioeconomic classification
For monetary values (benefits, income), the unit is Swedish Krona (SEK)
The different disposable income measures represent different calculation methods:
- disposable_income (DispInkKE): Disposable income per consumption unit, family
- disposable_income_ke04 (DispInkKE04): Disposable income per consumption unit, family, using 2004 definition
Missing values for occupation-related variables may indicate unemployment or being outside the labor force
Value "" or "***" in character fields often indicates missing or not applicable data
