Central cancer registries are required to collect industry and occupation (I/O) information when available, but the data reported are often incomplete.
We audited the completeness of I/O data in the New Hampshire State Cancer Registry (NHSCR) database for diagnosis year 2005, and reviewed medical records for a convenience sample of 474 of these cases. We compared I/O data quality before and after a statewide registrar training session on occupationally related cancers.
The original 2005 data contained both I/O data in 11.5% of cases, and lacked any I/O data in 74.5%. Corresponding figures for cases selected for audit were 15.2% and 77.2%, which improved to 54.2% and 11.8% after medical record review. After registrar training, 47% of reports contained both I/O data, and only 14.4% of cases lacked any I/O data.
Statewide training to highlight the importance of I/O data is an effective method to improve I/O data quality.
中央癌症登记处被要求在有条件的情况下收集行业和职业（I/O）信息，但报告的数据往往不完整。
我们审查了新罕布什尔州癌症登记处（NHSCR）数据库中 2005 年诊断年份的 I/O 数据的完整性，并对其中 474 例的便利样本进行了病历回顾。我们比较了在全州范围内针对职业相关癌症的登记员培训前后的 I/O 数据质量。
原始的 2005 年数据包含 11.5%的病例的 I/O 数据，而 74.5%的病例则没有任何 I/O 数据。对于被选中进行审核的病例，相应的数字分别为 15.2%和 77.2%，而在病历审查后，这两个数字分别提高到了 54.2%和 11.8%。在登记员培训之后，47%的报告包含了 I/O 数据，而只有 14.4%的病例没有任何 I/O 数据。
强调 I/O 数据重要性的全州范围的培训是提高 I/O 数据质量的有效方法。
