OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the linkage of claims from the Utah All Payers Claims Database (APCD) and Utah Cancer Registry (UCR). DATA SOURCES: Secondary data from 2013 and 2014 Utah APCD and 2013 UCR cases. STUDY DESIGN: This is a descriptive analysis of the quality of linkage between APCD claims data and cancer registry cases. DATA COLLECTION/EXTRACTION METHODS: We used the LinkPlus software to link Utah APCD and UCR data. PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: We were able to link 82.4 percent (9441/11 453) of the UCR reportable cancer cases with APCD claims. Of those linked, 66 percent were perfect matches. CONCLUSIONS: The quality of identifiers is high, evidence that claims data can potentially supplement cancer registry data for use in research.
