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 ...

Environmental Health Perspectives, 1979 In cancer epidemiology, prospective approaches are very important both in testing etiological hypotheses and in evaluating preventive procedures. Prospective studies, however, are very difficult and expensive, because a large number of people and a long period of observation are necessary for a satisfactory study. As a data source for follow-up studies,

Real-time linkage: when is near enough good enough?
International Journal of Population Data Science, 2017 Objectives Timely data on the health and vital status of study participants is important for cohort management and patient recruitment processes in addition to traditional observational research. We have investigated the potential to modify data sourcing

Validating Distance-Based Record Linkage with Probabilistic Record Linkage [PDF]
, 2002 This work compares two alternative methods for record linkage: distance based and probabilistic record linkage. It compares the performance of both approaches when data is categorical. To that end, a distance over ordinal and nominal scales is defined.

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.
