“…The accuracy of cause of death coding for hematopoietic and lymphoid neoplasms appears to be relatively high, with 98.1% agreement in coding of MM, 88.4% of NHL, and a range of 34.3-86.3% of various types of leukemia [Percy et al, 1981]. Overall, the hematopoietic and lymphoid neoplasms were found to have specific concordance between 60.8 and 64.8% of the time [Gobbato et al, 1992]. Most coding errors involved assigning the code for another cancer within the hematopoietic and lymphoid neoplasms grouping (202)(203)(204)(205)(206)(207)(208).…”

“…2 -A necrópsia tem sido freqüentemente considerada como um dos métodos mais serepresentado pela média da estimativa da confirmação anatomopatológica do diagnóstico clí-nico: 70,97% (286-83/335 = ) significando que mesmo quando o diagnóstico clínico possa estar correto há um substancial número de outros diagnósticos de importância que serão revelados somente na necróp-sia 8,11,19,23,28,32,38,39 .…”

“…Misclassification of cause of death has been a concern in analysis of cancer trends and etiological research in cancer epidemiology for decades (6,(11)(12)(13)19). By using a modified maximum likelihood approach, we accounted for misclassification of lung cancer death in a cohort of textile factory workers exposed to asbestos.…”

“…If such misattribution results in a death due to lung cancer being classified as a death due to another cause, or vice versa, the outcome is misclassified. Despite evidence of imperfect sensitivity and specificity for cause of death data abstracted from death certificates (6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13), most studies of occupational asbestos exposure assume no misclassification.…”
