Reporting of haemolytic uraemic syndrome in the CIHI Hospital Inpatient System and the Alberta Notifiable Disease Registry

Description

This report is the first in a series of reports to examine data system quality issues in the health care system. It examines the number of cases of haemolytic uraemic syndrome (HUS) that were reported to the Alberta Communicable Disease Reporting System (CDRS) and to the Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI) Hospital Inpatient System – two data systems upon which many provincial and national health statistics are based. Results show a 3-4 fold difference in the reported cases of HUS between the two data systems in 1994-2003. Findings of this study have implications for the two data systems and for improved reporting of HUS and other diseases from the two systems.
