项目摘要

Record linkage refers to the process of integrating data by identifying unique individuals within and across data sources. In administrative databases, it is common to have a limited amount of the individuals' partial identifiers, such as names or dates of birth, which together with typographical errors and missing data, makes the record linkage task difficult and prone to errors. Probabilistic record linkage approaches have been shown to have superior performance when compared with ruled-based deterministic techniques, as probabilistic approaches adapt better to different and increased levels of error in the datafiles. Existing probabilistic approaches are nevertheless subject to different limitations. In practice, it is common to encounter data integration scenarios where multiple data sources need to be simultaneously merged and deduplicated using imperfect information such as names, dates or addresses. These scenarios go beyond the specifications for which commonly used record linkage and deduplication methodologies have been developed. We therefore propose to extend the currently-available best-performing record linkage methodologies to simultaneously integrate multiple datafiles and detect duplicated records within them. We will develop this methodology, with an associated software and graphical user interface, in partnership with Public Health – Seattle & King County to ensure that these are responsive to real world needs and challenges. We will also conduct a pilot study implementing the techniques on King County administrative data systems used for overdose surveillance and evaluation of overdose prevention programs.

记录链接是指通过识别数据内和数据间的唯一个体来集成数据的过程在行政数据库中，个人的部分信息数量有限是很常见的。标识符，例如姓名或出生日期，再加上印刷错误和缺失数据，使得记录链接任务很困难并且容易出错。概率记录链接方法已被证明。与基于规则的确定性技术相比，具有优越的性能，如概率方法更好地适应数据文件中不同的和增加的错误级别。然而，在实践中，方法常常受到不同的限制。需要同时合并多个数据源并进行重复数据删除的集成场景姓名、日期或地址等信息不完整这些情况超出了规范的范围。因此，我们开发了常用的记录链接和重复数据删除方法。建议将当前可用的性能最佳的记录链接方法扩展到同时集成多个数据文件并检测其中的重复记录我们将开发这种方法。与西雅图和金县公共卫生部门合作的相关软件和图形用户界面为了确保这些能够满足现实世界的需求和挑战，我们还将进行试点研究。在金县行政数据系统上实施用于过量监测的技术评估过量预防计划。
