Probabilistic record linkage allows the assembling of information from different data sources.
We present a procedure when a one-to-one relationship between records in different files is …

This paper presents a refinement of the probabilistic medical record linking algorithm. We
introduced “close agreement” to account for typical errors in administrative variables used …

O objetivo do estudo foi avaliar a sensibilidade do método de linkage probabilístico de
registros na identificação de nascimentos de coorte. Foram utilizados dados da população …

We consider the problem of record linkage in the situation where we have only non‐unique
identifiers, like names, sex, race etc., as common identifiers in databases to be linked. For …

Record linkage is a powerful tool in assembling information from different data sources and
has been used by a number of public health researchers. In this review, we provide an …

A blocagem (blocking), que consiste na criação de blocos lógicos de registros dentro de
arquivos a serem relacionados, é um dos processos que faz parte do relacionamento …

Record linkage is the process of identifying and merging records across different databases
belonging to the same entity. The health sector is one of the pioneering areas of record …

OBJETIVO: Analisar a literatura nacional e internacional sobre validade de métodos de
relacionamentos nominais de base de dados em saúde, com ênfase nas medidas de …

Objectives: This study sought to examine the differences between ignoring (naïve) and
incorporating dependency (nonnaïve) among linkage variables on the outcome of a …

Objective: To describe an efficient, generalizable approach to validate probabilistic record
linkage results, in particular by a model-guided detection of linking errors, and to apply this …
