Agreement between Questionnaire Data and Medical Records of Chronic Diseases in Middle-aged and Elderly Finnish Men and Women
Abstract
The agreement between self-reported diseases in a questionnaire survey and data from medical records was assessed in a representative sample of Finnish men and women (n = 596) aged 45-73 years. The accumulated medical record information was abstracted from the records in the health centers and the central hospital in the study region. The agreement between the two information sources was substantial (kappa 0.73-0.80) for cardiovascular diseases as a group, hypertension, angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, and diabetes. The lowest agreement (kappa < 0.55) was found for lower back disorder, hip and knee arthrosis, and claudication. These results showed that the agreement between questionnaire data and medical records was good for well-known chronic diseases that have clear diagnostic criteria and are easily communicated to the patient. Conversely, the agreement was poor for diseases with nonestablished diagnostic criteria and a fluctuating course.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
