More than one-third with an NTM infection based on ICD-10 codes were found in extreme age groups. At least half of the patients had a pulmonary infection. Contradicting previous data from Denmark, we found an increasing trend of NTM, potentially suggesting an increase in clinically relevant disease, a higher awareness and test rate, or improved coding.
