Refinement of the Target Population for Colorectal Cancer Screening in France, Inventory as a Prelude to the Use of Medico-Administrative Database

Abstract

The study describes the level of improvement in the risk of misclassification that would be achieved by refining the campaign target population using a query in the French medico-administrative database (SNDS). The SNDS's use requires other new strategies that can minimize the number of people wrongly included in the campaigns, because its accuracy is less than 100%.
