Abstract

An essential aspect of cancer registration is data quality. Data quality for Cancer Registries has been reviewed in this paper using four main criteria (comparability, validity, timeliness, and completeness). Medline (via PubMed), Scopus, and Web of Science databases were searched for relevant English articles published from inception until December 2022. Each study was analyzed for its characteristics, measurement method, and data quality features. According to the present study, the majority of articles evaluated the completeness feature, and the fewest evaluated the timeliness feature. A completeness rate of 36% to 99.3% and a timeliness rate of 9% to 98.5% were observed. Standardizing metrics and reporting of data quality is necessary to maintain confidence in the usefulness of cancer registries. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
