Abstract |
The Danish National Registry of Patients (DNRP) is a potentially valuable resource for monitoring national trends in the use of chemotherapy and evaluating the benefits and harms of alternative treatments among colorectal cancer (CRC) patients in Denmark. However, the validity of chemotherapy reporting in the DNRP is unknown. In this study, we evaluated the validity of the DNRP for identifying the receipt of chemotherapy and specific treatments, and the timing and number of treatments among CRC patients, using medical records and pharmacy data as the reference standard. |
