2006

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 for record linkage. Linking data on early pregnancy determinants with data on late child outcomes was used as a case study. We analyzed whether the addition of close agreement resulted in a higher discriminating power of the linking key reflected ina reduction of the number of links with an uncertain linking
