Abstract：
BACKGROUND:Information on the treatment of women with breast cancer in Australia is generally available only from special surveys. Analysis of routinely collected datasets may be more timely and cost effective, if the data are sufficiently accurate and complete. OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the accuracy and completeness of data on treatment in linked records of breast cancer from two routinely collected datasets. METHODS:The NSW Department of Health linked NSW Central Cancer Registry (CCR) records for 2,636 women diagnosed with breast cancer in NSW in 1992 to all hospital admission records in the NSW In-patient Statistics Collection (ISC) from January 1991 to June 1994. We queried the original paper records of subsets of women to identify missing or miscoded information and cases not notified to the CCR. We also compared the treatment data with data collected independently from the medical records of 19% of the women. RESULTS:ISC records linked to 89% of the CCR records. The CCR had identified 94.9% of women with breast cancer treated as hospital in-patients and 83% of these women had surgical treatment recorded in the ISC. The linked dataset under-estimated the percentage of women having breast-conserving therapy (-4%) and slightly over-estimated the percentage having mastectomy (+1%). We estimated that 42% of women treated surgically for breast cancer had actually had breast-conserving surgery, compared with 39% in the original dataset. There was no evident bias by age or by urban or rural residence in the under-recording of breast conservation. There was 94% agreement on the type of surgery between the linked dataset and the independent dataset.
