Technical challenges of providing record linkage services for research [PDF]

, 2014
Background: Record linkage techniques are widely used to enable health researchers to gain event based longitudinal information for entire populations. The task of record linkage is increasingly being undertaken by specialised linkage units (SLUs).

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.

Probabilistic linkage to enhance deterministic algorithms and reduce data linkage errors in hospital administrative data

Journal of Innovation in Health Informatics, 2017
Background: The pseudonymisation algorithm used to link together episodes of care belonging to the same patient in England [Hospital Episode Statistics ID (HESID)] has never undergone any formal evaluation to determine the extent of data linkage error ...

Privacy-preserving Deep Learning based Record Linkage [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
Deep learning-based linkage of records across different databases is becoming increasingly useful in data integration and mining applications to discover new insights from multiple sources of data. However, due to privacy and confidentiality concerns, organisations often are not willing or allowed to share their sensitive data with any external parties,

Establishment of an Australian National Master Linkage Key (NMLK) between AIHW Health Linkage spine (HLS) and Jurisdictional Master Linkage Keys (MLK) - NSW example

International Journal of Population Data Science
Objectives This paper describes a Population Health Research Network project establishing the NMLK as a national linkage system utilising an enduring linkage between national and jurisdictional linkage spines.

The solution supramolecular structure of α2 → 8 polysialic acid suggests a structural cause for its low immunogenicity

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
α2 → 8 polysialic acid elicits poor immunogenicity. Small‐angle scattering shows a supramolecular structure with parallel‐chain binding, although in different forms at μm and mm calcium. The major histocompatibility complex requires molecular weights around 2000 Da to produce antibodies, and 2000 Da polysialic oligomers will bind in these structures ...

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 Bayesian Multi-Layered Record Linkage Procedure to Analyze Functional Status of Medicare Patients with Traumatic Brain Injury [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
Understanding the association between injury severity and patients' potential for recovery is crucial to providing better care for patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI). Estimation of this relationship requires clinical information on injury severity, patient demographics, and healthcare utilization, which are often obtained from separate data ...
