Poor agreement between self-reported and dermatologists’ diagnoses for five common dermatoses: Comparison of self-reported and dermatologists’ diagnoses
Abstract
Background Few epidemiological studies assessing the prevalence of chronic dermatosis are available in France and most of these studies have used biased samples drawn from specific subpopulations. As several recent studies have mentioned that self-reported diagnosis either underestimates or overestimates disease prevalence, the validity of such data is questionable. Objectives To evaluate the agreement between self-reported and dermatologists' diagnoses for five chronic dermatoses: acne, eczema, fungal infection, psoriasis and seborrhoeic dermatitis, and to analyse the factors associated with patients' diagnosis knowledge. Patients/methods A cross-sectional study was conducted on the national day of skin tumour screening in April 2003. A self-administered questionnaire was completed by patients and a standard form was completed by dermatologists after clinical examination. A total of 4,622 adults were examined by a dermatologist in 134 screening centres across France. The agreement between self-reported and dermatologists' diagnoses was analysed using the kappa index. Characteristics of patients who were aware of their diagnosis were compared with those of patients who were not, by using multivariate logistic regression models. Results The demographic characteristics of the sample differed from those of the French population. The self-reported prevalence was significantly lower than the actual prevalence for all diseases except eczema. Underestimations ranging from 23% to 35%…

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.
