Linking Interventional Cardiology clinical registry data with French hospital administrative data: Development and validation of deterministic record linkage

CONCLUSION: This study underscored the feasibility and validity of an indirect deterministic pairing to routinely link a registry of practices using hospital data to pseudonymized medico-administrative databases. This method, which can be extrapolated to other health events leading to hospitalization, renders it possible to effectively reconstruct patients' hospital healthcare pathway.PMID:33707007 | DOI:10.1016/j.respe.2021.01.008
