Overcoming the Impasse 2: Assessing the Quality of Recent Australian Applications of a Privacy-Preserving Record Linkage Method (PPRL-BLOOM)

International Journal of Population Data Science, 2020
Introduction While the quantity and type of datasets used by data linkage projects is growing, there remain some datasets that are ‘not available’ or ‘hard to access’ by researchers and linkers, either due to legal/regulatory constraints restricting the ...

Sociodemographic differences in linkage error: an examination of four large-scale datasets

BMC Health Services Research, 2018
Background Record linkage is an important tool for epidemiologists and health planners. Record linkage studies will generally contain some level of residual record linkage error, where individual records are either incorrectly marked as belonging to the ...

Privacy preserved incremental record linkage

Journal of Big Data, 2022
Using an incremental approach to solve the record linkage problem is a relatively new research area. In incremental record linkage, every inserted record is compared with some existing clusters of records based on its blocking key value.

Secure Privacy Preserving Record Linkage of Large Databases by Modified Bloom Filter Encodings

International Journal of Population Data Science, 2017
Objective In most European settings, record linkage across different institutions has to be based on personal identifiers such as names, birthday or place of birth. To protect the privacy of research subjects, the identifiers have to be encrypted.
