To compare the quality of the 2008 cancer mortality data of the Istanbul Directorate of Cemeteries (IDC) with the 2008 data of International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) and Turkish Statistical Institute (TUIK), and discuss the suitability of using this databank for estimations of cancer mortality in the future.
We used 2008 and 2010 death records of the IDC and compared it to TUIK and IARC data.
According to the WHO statistics, in Turkey in 2008 there were 67255 estimated cancer deaths. As the population of Turkey was 71517100, the cancer mortality rate was 9.4 per 10000. According to the IDC statistics, the cancer mortality rate in Istanbul in 2008 was 5.97 per 10000.
IDC estimates were higher than WHO probably because WHO bases its estimates on a sample group and because of the restrictions of IDC data collection method. Death certificates could be a reliable and accurate data source for mortality statistics if the problems of data collection are solved.
比较伊斯坦布尔公墓管理局(IDC)2008年癌症死亡率数据与国际癌症研究机构(IARC)和土耳其统计研究所(TUIK)2008年的数据,并讨论未来使用该数据库进行癌症死亡率估计的适用性。
我们使用了IDC 2008年和2010年的死亡记录,并将其与TUIK和IARC的数据进行比较。
根据世界卫生组织的统计,2008年土耳其估计有67255例癌症死亡病例。由于土耳其人口为71517100,癌症死亡率为每10000人中有9.4例。根据IDC的统计,2008年伊斯坦布尔的癌症死亡率为每10000人中有5.97例。
IDC的估计值高于世界卫生组织,这可能是因为世界卫生组织的估计基于一个样本组,也因为IDC数据收集方法的限制。如果解决了数据收集问题,死亡证明可能是死亡率统计的可靠和准确数据源。
