Hospital discharge data have the potential to provide timely information on cancer incidence, which is central to evaluation and improvement of clinical care for women. This study aimed to assess the validity of hospital data for identifying incident pregnancy-associated cancers compared with incident cancers from an Australian population-based statutory cancer registry.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Birth data from 2001\u20132008, comprised 470,277 women with 679,736 maternities, were linked to cancer registry and hospitalisation records to identify newly diagnosed cancers during pregnancy or within 12 months of delivery. Two hospital-identified cancer groups were examined; \u201cindex cancer hospitalisation\u201d \u2013 first cancer admission per woman per pregnancy and \u201call cancer hospitalisations\u201d \u2013the total number of hospitalisations with a cancer diagnosis and women could have multiple hospitalisations during pregnancy.

Incidence of cancer was substantially over-estimated when using hospitalisations as the unit of analysis (incidence rate ratio, IRR 1.7) and under-estimated when using the individual (IRR 0.8). Overall, the sensitivity of \u201cindex cancer hospitalisation\u201d was 60.4%, positive predictive value (PPV) 77.7%, specificity and negative predictive value both 100%. Melanoma ascertainment was only 36.1% and breast cancer 62.9%. For other common cancers sensitivities ranged from 72.1% to 78.6% and PPVs 56.4% to 87.3%.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Although hospital data provide another timely source of cancer identification, the validity is insufficient to obtain cancer incidence estimates for the obstetric population.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/1471-2393-13-37","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,2,12]],"date-time":"2013-02-12T01:27:33Z","timestamp":1360632453000},"update-policy":"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Using hospital discharge data to identify incident pregnancy-associated cancers: a validation study"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Yuen Yi Cathy","family":"Lee","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Christine L","family":"Roberts","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jane","family":"Young","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Timothy","family":"Dobbins","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2013,2,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"692_CR1","volume-title":"Int J Obstet Gynaecol","author":"YY Lee","year":"2012","unstructured":"Lee YY, Roberts CL, Dobbins T, Starvou E, Black K, Morris JM, Young J: Incidence and outcomes of pregnancy-associated cancer in Australia, 1994\u20132008: a population-based linkage study.
