متن کاملMETHODOLOGIC ISSUES Practical introduction to record linkage for injury research
s, and EMS data initially using a deterministic computer program, but when Automatch became available, the latter was found easier to specify and generalize. Hospital readmissions for injury in New Zealand were more easily identified by probabilistic methods, which allowed for more variables to be used for linkage than a deterministic method, even when some values were missing or erroneous.

متن کاملMethodologic problems and standards in case-control research.
IN SUCH scientific domains as physics, chemistry, and biology, rigorous standards have been developed for proving the claim that a particular effect occurs as a consequence of a particular cause. The investigator is asked to perform an experiment, imposing the alleged causal agent. and contrasting its effects with those that follow the imposition of a comparative agent. or ‘control’. In the dom...
