Cancer incidence in Croatia 2009, Bulletin No. 34
Bulletin No. 34 contains the Registry data quality
indicators. They are: percentage of histologically confirmed
cases; percentage of cases recorded based on death
certificates only (DCO); death-new case ratios for males and
females, number of new cancer cases by sex and cancer sites
for the 2004-2008 period; number of cases, percentage and
rates of incidence (crude and age-standardized per European
and world populations) and cumulative rates for the most
common cancer sites in 2008; incidence (absolute number and
rate) of malignant neoplasms (except skin cancer) for
Croatia by sex, age, primary site, cancer stage at the time
of diagnosis, as well as the incidence of the most common
cancer sites by county and sex, and the incidence of the
most common cancer sites (absolute number) by town of
residence and sex.
In coding the diagnoses, we used the International
Classification of Diseases, Injuries and Causes of Death,
Xth Revision (ICD-10). The calculation of incidence (new
case) rates for Croatia’s population was based on the
Croatian population census 2001.
