Cohort follow-up using computer linkage with routinely collected data.
The validation of a computerised record linkage system for matching members of a defined cohort with routinely collected national data sources is reported for the first time. The two national sources relate to mortality and inpatient data and provide contrasting characteristics in their method of collection. The linkage system produces a group of possible matches based on identifying informatio...
متن کاملUsing routinely collected data to enhance long term follow up data: an example from the building blocks trial

Linkage to routinely collected data can enhance the data held by RCTs. Building Blocks is a multi-centred individually RCT evaluating the effectiveness of the Family Nurse Partnership progr...

In most countries with large drug resistant tuberculosis epidemics, only those cases that are at highest risk of having MDRTB receive a drug sensitivity test (DST) at the time of diagnosis. Because of this prioritized testing, identification of MDRTB transmission hotspots in communities where TB cases do not receive DST is challenging, as any observed aggregation of MDRTB may reflect systematic...
متن کاملUsing routinely collected data to improve immunisation histories
Immunisation is one of the most effective health interventions in existence yet outbreaks of vaccine-preventable diseases continue to occur in developed countries. High rates of cover are needed to provide adequate herd immunity and there is evidence that a significant proportion of paediatric inpatients are not up to date even in areas with high levels of community cover. A proportion of these...

Following the well-publicized problems with paediatric cardiac surgery at the Bristol Royal Infirmary, there is wide public interest in measures of hospital performance. The Kennedy report on the BRI events suggested that such measures should be meaningful to the public, case-mix-adjusted, and based on data collected as part of routine clinical care. We have found that it is possible to predict...
