Probabilistic Linkage of Persian Record with Missing Data
Extended Abstract. When the comprehensive information about a topic is scattered among two or more data sets, using only one of those data sets would lead to information loss available in other data sets. Hence, it is necessary to integrate scattered information to a comprehensive unique data set. On the other hand, sometimes we are interested in recognition of duplications in a data set. The i...
متن کاملComparison of probabilistic and deterministic record linkage in the development of a statewide trauma registry.
We have been working to develop a statewide injury surveillance system using not only hospital-based trauma registries but also other sources of data (including ambulance run reports, hospital discharge abstracts, and death certificates). For this purpose, a commercially available probabilistic matching program was compared to the deterministic program described previously. Using the same data ...
متن کاملUse of Probabilistic Record Linkage for the Canadian Cancer Registry
Cancer is a major cause of deaths in Canada. Both its detection and treatment place great burdens on the Canadian Health Care system. It is vital for the Canadian government to be able to estimate accurately the incidence of cancer in Canada each year, as well as be able to detect trends which indicate increases or decreases, in order that sufficient health care funds be made available. Cases o...
متن کاملProbabilistic record linkage
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. In this article, we aim to describe the process of probabilistic record linkage through a simple exemplar. We first introduce the c...
متن کاملAssessing the concordance of trauma registry data and hospital records.
This study examined the concordance of trauma registry and hospital records in Queensland in 1998. The design involved a retrospective review of records and documentation comparison. Demographic variables from the registry were matched to hospital data to obtain admission/diagnoses data. There were four main types of error identified which included: failure to identify relevant patients, inappr...
