“…The diabetes prevalence in Sweden has been estimated as 4.3%, based on figures from 1987 [15]. A recent estimation from three PHCCs in Stockholm County, using a capture-recapture technique [16], has shown a prevalence of 4.9% (unpublished data). It seems reasonable that the diabetes prevalence in the reception areas of the two PHCCs could have increased by 10-20%, but hardly more.…”

“…The CRM may be one of only a few techniques to accurately assess disease spread and frequency in developing countries like Thailand. This technique has been applied in many settings to estimate the distribution and prevalence of such disorders as type 2 diabetes, fetal alcohol syndrome and PD [14][15][16][17] .…”

Background: Parkinson’s disease (PD) occurs worldwide but prior to this review of data from the Thailand Parkinson’s Disease Registry there had been no nationwide PD registry reported globally. Objective: To determine the distribution and prevalence of PD in Thailand and related risk factors in order to more adequately develop and allocate prevention and treatment resources where they are most needed and to ascertain risk factors that are specific to the Thai population. Design: The Thailand Parkinson’s Disease Registry is a new resource, and data collection began in March 2008. Data is collected by the Registry from physicians, and a mechanism is also provided for patients to self-report. This data was further analyzed by the capture-recapture methodology (CRM) to assess reporting biases. Methods: The three main sources of data input to the Registry, i.e. (1) public hospitals, (2) private hospitals and (3) self-registration, require checking for duplicates and also allow estimation of completeness of recording (the degree of underreporting) in this disease registry. There is underreporting because of poor record keeping and administrative procedures in some facilities, and there is an unknown number of persons with PD who are not properly diagnosed because of inadequate facilities and staffing in some areas. Since our data sources should be overlapping in some way, and assuming that the likelihood of being detected in one system is independent of the others, we estimated these data sources’ actual coverage and the expected total number of patients utilizing the ‘capture-recapture’ statistical technique. Results: As of March 2011, the Thailand PD Registry had identified 40,049 PD patients. Employing log-linear modeling, the CRM analysis based on the three data sets estimated underreporting of 20,516 cases. The revised estimated total is thus 60,565 cases, resulting in a crude and age-adjusted prevalence of 95.34 and 424.57 PD cases/100,000 population, respectively. The prevalence of PD was 126.83/100,000 in urban areas and 90.82/100,000 in rural areas (p < 0.001). Preliminary regional comparisons revealed a higher prevalence of PD in residents of the central plain valley of Thailand, an area with a large amount of pesticide use. Conclusions: The combination of a passive registry and the CRM technique allowed us to derive population prevalence estimates for PD in Thailand. Thai PD prevalence estimates were similar to previous ones published for Asian countries; in addition, they suggested that urbanization and exposure to pesticides may both be risk factors for PD in the Thai population.

“…During the past decades, it has been used in human societies to estimate the prevalence of illnesses and injuries, including diabetes [14], some cancers [15,16], AIDS [17], and traffic injuries [18,19]. Credit of the capture-recapture method depends on the following assumptions that:…”

Background:To reduce traffic injuries in the country, health professionals should have accurate estimates of road traffic deaths. Multiple and sometimes inconsistent statistics presented by organizations in charge create high degree of uncertainty for planners and decision makers. To achieve an accurate estimate, several methods are available. Of them, capture-recapture method seems to be an appropriate and affordable method regarding the reliability of the data sources. This study aimed to estimate the number of road traffic deaths in Kurdistan Province during 2004-2009, using capture-recapture method and based on 2 sources of data obtained from Death Registration System and Forensic Medicine Department. Materials and Methods:All deaths due to road traffic accidents in Kurdistan Province were extracted during [2004][2005][2006][2007][2008][2009]. These deaths were legally registered in Death Registration System and Forensic Medicine Department. Shared cases among these 2 sources were identified based on full name, age, gender, and date of death and finally the accurate number of deaths was calculated using the correct volume formula.Results: During study period, Forensic Medicine Department of the province had registered about 3289 cases of road traffic mortalities and Death Registration System had registered 3771 cases of death resulting from road traffic accidents. Using capture-recapture method, the number of deaths in the same years was estimated as 5726 people (5818-5634:CI95%). The proportion of mortality registered in the Death Registration System and Forensic Medicine Department of the province to the total estimated deaths were 65.8% and 57.4%, respectively and both systems together covered 85.4% of road traffic deaths, i.e. under-reporting of about 832 people. Conclusion:The results of the present study indicate that none of 2 sources of Forensic Medicine Department and Death Registration System, per se or both, fully covered road traffic mortalities and using capture-recapture method can help estimate the actual number of deaths.
