Annual case numbers were extracted for five major gastrointestinal procedures: cholecystectomy, inguinal hernia repair, appendectomy, colorectal cancer surgery, and gastric cancer surgery. Consistency was evaluated using three metrics: the median NCD\/NDB ratio with interquartile range, Pearson's correlation coefficient for absolute annual volumes, and the proportion of years with concordant year\u2010to\u2010year change.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The NCD generally reported higher case volumes than the NDB Open Data, with ratios ranging from close to unity (1.00) for colorectal cancer surgery to 1.10 for appendectomy. Temporal associations between the two databases (Pearson's\n                      <jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>\n                      ) ranged from 0.70 to 0.99 across the five procedures. The proportion of years with concordant year\u2010to\u2010year change ranged from 44% for appendectomy to 100% for colorectal and gastric cancer surgery.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Despite relying on clinician\u2010reported data, the NCD demonstrated comparable temporal patterns to the NDB Open Data across the five major gastrointestinal procedures.
