Abstract

Mortality records are often used in epidemiological studies, particularly in cancer studies. This paper aims to evaluate reliability and accuracy of cancer mortality data in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. A systematic random sample of 394 death certificates was obtained from a total of 12615 cancer deaths. This sample was recoded by an independent codifier. A kappa coefficient of 0.89 (95% C.I. 0.86-0.92) was obtained to the third digit, which increases to 0.95 (95% C.I. 0.94-0.96) when restricted to the mortality list used in international publications. The positive predictive value was 95.7% for this sample. These results reveal a high standard reliability of cancer mortality records in the State of Rio de Janeiro making them suitable for use in epidemiological research.
