Assessing record linkage between health care and Vital Statistics databases using deterministic methods

20 Apr 2006

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: We assessed the linkage and correct linkage rate using deterministic record linkage among three commonly used Canadian databases, namely, the population registry, hospital discharge data and Vital Statistics registry. METHODS: Three combinations of four personal identifiers (surname, first name, sex and date of birth) were used to determine the optimal combination. The correct linkage rate was...
