Validation of data quality in the Swedish quality register of gynecologic cancer for cervical cancer and vulvar cancer-a Swedish gynecologic cancer group (Swe-GCG) study.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Population-based registers provide an important source of real-world data. The growing number of large cohort studies using data from cancer registers makes validation of such registers important. The Swedish Quality Register of Gynecologic Cancer (SQRGC) is a nationwide population-based register containing data on patient and tumor characteristics, treatment, and follow-up. To ensure that the results from research and quality assurance reports using SQRGC data are robust and reliable, the accuracy and completeness of the register need to be validated. The aim of this study was to evaluate the quality of data on cervical cancer and vulvar cancer in the SQRGC.

Material and methods

Quality of data in the SQRGC was investigated by evaluating completeness, timelines
