从1982-1986年在东德国进行的口服避孕药与乳腺癌之间关系的病例对照研究中，作者通过对研究对象的访谈和处方妇科医生的记录获得了关于口服避孕药使用的信息。对234例乳腺癌病例和524例曾经使用过口服避孕药的对照组进行了评估，以评估这两种来源的信息的一致程度。从病历中获得的信息与从访谈中获得的关于使用总持续时间、使用次数以及自首次和末次使用以来的时间的信息之间的一致性相当好，病例和对照组之间的一致性水平没有明显差异。个别品牌名称和特定品牌使用时间的一致性较低。在研究单个制剂的作用时，应尝试从医疗记录中获取特定品牌的信息。
From a case-control study of the relation between oral contraceptives and breast cancer carried out in East Germany during 1982-1986, the authors obtained information on oral contraceptive use through interviews of study subjects and from the records of prescribing gynecologists. The degree of agreement regarding information from these two sources was assessed for 234 breast cancer cases and 524 controls who had ever used oral contraceptives. Agreement between information obtained from medical records and that from interviews on total duration of use, number of episodes of use, and time since first and last use was reasonably good, and levels of agreement did not differ appreciably between cases and controls. Lower levels of agreement were observed for individual brand names and the duration of use of specific brands. Attempts should be made to obtain information on specific brands from medical records when investigating the effects of individual preparations.
