Risk factors for patient-reported errors during cancer follow-up: results from a national survey in Denmark.

Christiansen AH, Lipczak H, Knudsen JL, Kejs AMT. Cancer Epidemiol. 2017;49:38-45.

In this study, researchers surveyed a sample of cancer patients in Denmark to understand perceived errors in follow-up care. About a third of respondents identified one or more errors during follow-up. The authors suggest that improving test result management, care coordination, and medical records may help mitigate such errors.
