Demystifying probabilistic linkage

International Journal of Population Data Science, 2018
Many of the distinctions made between probabilistic and deterministic linkage are misleading. While these two approaches to record linkage operate in different ways and can produce different outputs, the distinctions between them are more a result of how

A Federated Record Linkage Algorithm for Secure Medical Data Sharing [PDF]

, 2021
The process of consolidating medical records from multiple institutions into one data set makes privacy-preserving record linkage (PPRL) a necessity. Most PPRL approaches, however, are only designed to link records from two institutions, and existing multi-party approaches tend to discard non-matching records, leading to incomplete result sets. In this

Data mining technique for identifying mortality patterns in a pulmonary tuberculosis cohort [PDF]

Cadernos de Saúde Pública
Tuberculosis (TB) deaths occur early, mainly during the two months comprising the intensive treatment phase compared to other causes of death. Understanding the distinct TB mortality patterns provides more effective health care for specific groups.
