Differences in recording of cancer diagnosis between datasets in England: A population-based study of linked cancer registration, hospital, and primary care data
Agreement between CR and EHR data is heterogeneous across cancer sites. Concordance does not appear to have improved over time. Combined data from primary and secondary care may be sufficient to approximate case status in CR in some circumstances, but the date we consider to represent the diagnosis may impact study outcomes.
