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.

Use of medical record linkage to study readmission rates. [PDF]

BMJ, 1989
Readmission rates after inpatient care were studied by using routinely collected data from the Oxford record linkage study for 1968-85. Discharges from hospital and subsequent admissions were identified for people who were both resident and treated in the area covered by the linkage study.

Comparing record linkage software programs and algorithms using real-world data.

PLoS ONE, 2019
Linkage of medical databases, including insurer claims and electronic health records (EHRs), is increasingly common. However, few studies have investigated the behavior and output of linkage software.

Record linkage based patient intersection cardinality for rare disease studies using Mainzelliste and secure multi-party computation

Journal of Translational Medicine, 2022
Background The low number of patients suffering from any given rare diseases poses a difficult problem for medical research: With the exception of some specialized biobanks and disease registries, potential study participants’ information are disjoint ...
