Sensitivity and specificity of the reporting of malignant mesothelioma
Abstract
Objective: To measure the sensitivity and specificity of the reporting of malignant mesothelioma in the Population-Based Cancer Registry in Curitiba, PA, Brazil. Method: Retrospective, cross-sectional study conducted in the Population-Based Cancer Registry in Curitiba and 11 reporting institutions, from January to December 2017. The final sample was composed of 92 medical records of adult patients, with diagnoses and reporting of cancer, with topographical codes C38 (pleura, heart, and mediastinum) and C48 (peritoneum and retroperitoneum). Stata 14 was used to analyze sensitivity and specificity, and internal consistency. Each medical record (considered the gold standard) provided by the reporting institutions was compared to those in the registry. Results: The registry sensitivity in reporting mesothelioma (ICD-10: C45) and pleural cancer (ICD-10: C38.4) was 100% (8/8) and 50% (1/2), respectively. Specificity was 90.2% (74/82), as eight cases were wrongly classified as pleural cancer. Conclusions: the registry presented high sensitivity in the reporting of malignant mesothelioma, with no underreporting, and overestimated pleural cancer reporting (nine instead of one) due to erroneous and misleading reporting.
