Death certificate notifications in the Swiss Childhood Cancer Registry: assessing completeness and registration procedures.
QUESTIONS UNDER STUDY Completeness is important in cancer registration. Identifying areas to improve registry procedures might help to maximise completeness.

متن کاملEstimating the completeness of death registration.
Summary Death registration statistics, even when incomplete, can provide valuable information about mortality.

متن کاملEstimating census and death registration completeness.
This article presents a new method for estimating the relative completeness of 2 census enumerations and of intercensal registered deaths. The Growth Balance Equation was developed by Brass (1975) to estimate the completeness of death registration relative to the completeness of census enumeration. The method presented here can be seen either as an extension of Martin's formulation to allow e...
متن کاملAssessing the Utility of Automatic Cancer Registry Notifications Data Extraction from Free-Text Pathology Reports
Cancer Registries record cancer data by reading and interpreting pathology cancer specimen reports. For some Registries this can be a manual process, which is labour and time intensive and subject to errors. A system for automatic extraction of cancer data from HL7 electronic free-text pathology reports has been proposed to improve the workflow efficiency of the Cancer Registry. The system is c...
متن کاملImplications from Under-reporting at Lifetime, Death Certificate Notifications and Trace-back on the Recorded Incidence of a "Newly" Established Population-based Cancer Registry.
OBJECTIVES Population-based cancer registries (CRs) are powerful tools for measuring cancer burden and progress against cancer. The study's objective was to investigate the effects of under-reporting at lifetime, death certificate notifications, and trace-back on the incidence a newly established population-based CR may record during its initial 15 years of operation. METHODS Using cancer dat...
