| description | Some computer edits identify errors. Others indicate possible errors that require manual review for resolution. To eliminate the need to review the same cases repeatedly, over-ride flags have been developed to indicate that data in a record (or records) have been reviewed and, while unusual, are correct. This over-ride is used with the following edits in the NAACCR Metafile of the EDITS software: Seq Num--Central, Primary Site, Morph (NAACCR IF22) Seq Num--Central, Primary Site, Morph (SEER IF22) Seq Num--Central, Prim Site, Morph ICDO3 (NAACCR IF22) Seq Num--Central, Prim Site, Morph ICDO3 (SEER IF22) Some edits check for code combinations that are possible, but quite rare. If the code combination generates an error message and review of the case indicates that the codes are correct for the case, then the over-ride flag is used to skip the edit in the future. See Chapter IV, Recommended Data Edits and Software Coordination of Standards. Over-ride Flag as Used in the EDITS Software Package If Sequence Number-Central indicates the person has had more than one primary, then any case with one of the following Primary Site/Histologic Type ICD-O-3 combinations requires review: C760-C768 (ill-defined sites) or C809 (unknown primary) and Histologic Type ICD-O-3 < 9590. C77_ and Histologic Type ICD-O-3 not in range 9590-9729. C420-C424 and Histologic Type ICD-O-3 not in range 9590-9989. Any site code and Histologic Type ICD-O-3 in range 9740-9758. Instructions for Coding Code 1 can be used if a second or subsequent primary reporting with an ill-defined primary site has been reviewed and is indeed an independent primary...
