Abstract

The quality of the record of cancer depends to a large extent of the information available and it at turn depends of the truthfulness of the cancer diagnosis which is obtained from the histological confirmation. In order to evaluate the quality of the provincial record in Pinar del Rio during year 2005, a descriptive and cross sectional study on the morbidity due to cancer was performed in all cases reported in order to study how it influences unfavourably on the information only by means of the death records from patients who died with this disease , and also it allows us to estimate the rate of incidence, the specific mortality rate in groups according to age and sex , which influence on the evaluation of the quality of the record and the different standard indicators of the national record. 571 patients were only reported by death record modifying the incidence rates in female (from 18, 5 to 24, 7) and (from 10, 9 to 20, 3) in males. It was observed an increase of 7, 8 by 10000 habitants. The percentual distribution showed a higher sub record in males and in the group from 70-79. It was only reported 56, 2% of positive biopsies. The evaluation of the indicators showed that the quality of the record was low and the score achieved a bad qualification (55 marks).
