Probabilistic record linkage [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Epidemiology, 2015
Studies involving the use of probabilistic record linkage are becoming increasingly common. However, the methods underpinning probabilistic record linkage are not widely taught or understood, and therefore these studies can appear to be a 'black box' research tool.

Record‐linkage for pharmacovigilance in Scotland [PDF]

open access: yesBritish Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, 1999
Record‐linkage is the linkage of patient‐specific information that is stored separately. Recent advances in computerization have meant that record‐linkage techniques in medical research are increasingly being used and refined. In particular, they have made a significant contribution to pharmacovigilance, which involves linking drug exposure to outcomes

Choquet integral for record linkage

open access: yesAnnals of Operations Research, 2011
Record linkage is used in data privacy to evaluate the disclosure risk of protected data. It models potential attacks, where an intruder attempts to link records from the protected data to the original data. In this paper we introduce a novel distance based record linkage, which uses the Choquet integral to compute the distance between records.

Incremental record linkage [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the VLDB Endowment, 2014
Record linkage clusters records such that each cluster corresponds to a single distinct real-world entity. It is a crucial step in data cleaning and data integration. In the big data era, the velocity of data updates is often high, quickly making previous linkage results obsolete.

Undiagnosed dementia in primary care: A record linkage study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
BackgroundThe number of people living with dementia is greater than the number with a diagnosis of dementia recorded in primary care. This suggests that a significant number are living with dementia that is undiagnosed.

Comparative Study of Record Linkage Approaches for Big Data

open access: yesWalailak Journal of Science and Technology, 2021
Record linkage is a challenging task for Big Data. This paper, hence, attempts to shed light on  record linkage approaches for Big Data by comparing three dimensions involving record linkage phases, dataset properties, and parallel processing approach ...

A blinded evaluation of privacy preserving record linkage with Bloom filters

open access: yesBMC Medical Research Methodology, 2022
Background Privacy preserving record linkage (PPRL) methods using Bloom filters have shown promise for use in operational linkage settings. However real-world evaluations are required to confirm their suitability in practice.

Canadian trends in the social determinants of health inequalities, a census-mortality linkage approach

open access: yesInternational Journal of Population Data Science, 2018
Introduction Mortality inequalities by income and education levels have historically been estimated using an area-based approach in Canada. Although useful in measuring socioeconomic inequalities overtime, this method underestimates the level of ...
