Meanings of recapture methods in English

Case ascertainment completeness was estimated with capture- recapture methods.

Study objective: In recent years, capture- recapture methods have become increasingly popular in estimating completeness of disease registries.

Capture- recapture methods were used to estimate the completeness of each data source (as a percentage of cases).

Conclusions: Careful application of capture- recapture methods may provide an alternative to traditional approaches for estimating completeness of cancer registration.

In contrast, capture- recapture methods tended to overestimate completeness of notifications from clinicians and death certificates for patients notified by pathologists.

Capture- recapture methods using log-linear models were used to estimate the level of case-finding and to calculate 95% confidence intervals (CI).

We have used capture- recapture methods to improve the accuracy of SLE incidence rates, and we advocate their use to facilitate comparisons across studies.

Objective: To evaluate the utility of capture- recapture methods using multiple, routinely collected, computerized data sources to estimate the numbers and prevalence of diabetes.
