Abstract:
Aim: We assessed the extent to which chemotherapy cycles recorded in Hospital Episode Statistics (HES) Admitted Patient Care (APC) were captured in National Cancer Registration & Analysis Service Systemic Anti-Cancer Therapy (SACT) for a cohort of lung cancer patients. Methods: All chemotherapy cycles recorded for linkage eligible lung cancer patients with a National Cancer Registration & Analysis Service diagnosis between 2012 and 2015 were identified in HES APC and SACT. Results: Among a population of 4070 lung cancer patients, 6076 chemotherapy cycles were observed in HES APC data. A total of 61% of cycles were recorded in SACT on the same day, 8% on a different day and 31% were not recorded in SACT. Conclusion: Our results suggest that SACT may not capture all chemotherapy cycles administered to a patient between 2012 and 2016; however, administrative changes mean data after this period may be more complete.
