Improving Cardiac Insights: Harnessing Privacy-Preserving Record Linkage (PPRL) to Obtain, Link, and Enhance Data for a Healthier Australia

International Journal of Population Data Science
Objective General Practices (GPs) collect vital information on health and disease in Australia, however much of this sensitive data is difficult to share for linkage purposes due to confidentiality and privacy concerns. PPRL techniques have presented an

The effect of cross-jurisdictional linked hospital and death data on estimating risk-adjusted grouped hospital standardised mortality ratios in Australia

International Journal of Population Data Science, 2017
Objectives The Population Health Research Network (PHRN) was established to increase data linkage capacity in Australia. A proof of concept study investigating cross border hospital use and hospital mortality was undertaken to demonstrate the ...

Categorical linkage‐data analysis

Statistics in Medicine
Analysis of integrated data often requires record linkage in order to join together the data residing in separate sources. In case linkage errors cannot be avoided, due to the lack a unique identity key that can be used to link the records unequivocally, standard statistical techniques may produce misleading inference if the linked data are treated as ...

Sources of potential bias when combining routine data linkage and a national survey of secondary school-aged children: a record linkage study

BMC Medical Research Methodology, 2020
Background Linking survey data to administrative records requires informed participant consent. When linkage includes child data, this includes parental and child consent. Little is known of the potential impacts of introducing consent to data linkage on

Leveraging Machine Learning to Combat Missingness and Error in Data

International Journal of Population Data Science
Objective Poor quality data confounds efforts to link clients across datasets. To combat this, we have trialed an approach which seeks to identify linkage candidates using associations with related services.  We utilised a machine learning (ML) approach

The Western Australia Population-based Burn Injury Project: Using record linkage to examine long-term effects of burn injury

International Journal of Population Data Science, 2017
Objectives While the most obvious impact of a burn is a visible scar, there are hidden impacts. The main contributors to adverse health outcomes after burns are the metabolic, inflammatory, immune and endocrine changes that occur in response to the ...

Mapping genes through the use of linkage disequilibrium generated by genetic drift: 'Drift mapping' in small populations with no demographic expansion [PDF]

, 1998
Linkage disequilibrium has been a powerful tool in identifying rare disease alleles in human populations. To date, most research has been directed to isolated populations which have undergone a bottleneck followed by rapid exponential expansion.

Åland eye disease: Linkage data

Genomics, 1991
A large Danish family with Aland Island eye disease (AIED) was studied by linkage analysis using 16 polymorphic DNA markers covering the whole X chromosome. Positive lod scores were found for marker loci at the proximal part of the short arm of the X chromosome, DXS255 and TIMP (Zmax = 3.93 and 3.18 at theta = 0.0), suggesting an assignment of the ...
