Record‐linkage for pharmacovigilance in Scotland [PDF]
British 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

Incremental record linkage [PDF]
Proceedings 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.

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,
