Capturing Chemotherapy and Radiotherapy Dose Among Breast Cancer Patients With the Utah All-Payer Claims Database Compared With Gold-Standard Abstraction.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To evaluate the validity of the Utah statewide All-Payer Claims Database (APCD), we compared breast cancer-specific treatments and dosages with gold-standard abstraction of medical records.

Study design

In this pilot study, breast cancer treatments were abstracted by a certified tumor registrar at the Utah Cancer Registry (UCR) for patients diagnosed in 2013 with breast cancer. The abstraction of medical records was the gold standard for comparison with treatments identified in the APCD. The reliability and agreement between the treatment identified in the APCD and abstraction data were measured with sensitivity and specificity. Dose consistency was measured with the intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC).

Results

Compared with the 186 abstractions, the s
