Concordance and timing in recording cancer events in primary care, hospital and mortality records for patients with and without psoriasis: A population-based cohort study.

<h4>Background</h4>The association between psoriasis and the risk of cancer has been investigated in numerous studies utilising electronic health records (EHRs), with conflicting results in the extent of the association.<h4>Objectives</h4>To assess concordance and timing of c...

For all cancer records (excluding keratinocyte), concordance between CPRD and HES was greater than 80%.

Concordance of non-Hodgkin lymphoma and liver cancer recording between CPRD and HES was lower for people with psoriasis compared to those without.<h4>Conclusions</h4>Concordance between CPRD and HES is poor when restricted to cancers of the same site, with greater discordance in people with psoriasis for some cancers of specific sites.
