| Abstract | The Netherlands Perinatal Registry (PRN) is a nationwide registry containing data from all pregnancies from various healthcare professionals. The PHARMO Database Network includes data from multiple healthcare databases such as drug dispensings, hospitalizations, GP's and clinical laboratory measurements and covers app. 20% of the Dutch population. To enable pharmacoepidemiological pregnancy outcome studies both databases need to be linked on patient characteristics. One of the key issues in this linkage is the deduplication of the pregnancy records since one mother may have attended several healthcare professionals and may have had more then one pregnancy, both leading to multiple records belonging to a single patient. We have devised a rule based record linkage technique to perform this deduplication both within pregnancies (cross-sectional) and over time (episodic). We will discuss the technical details through examples and present the results. |
