Abstract
Record linkage is an invaluable tool for many epidemiological studies. So far, however, in Europe it has mainly been used in Scandinavian countries with nationwide registration systems. Using the example of a large retrospective cohort study among migrants, we show that this method is also feasible in Germany, a country without central registries and unique identification numbers for citizens.
摘要
记录链接对许多流行病学研究来说是一项非常宝贵的工具。然而，到目前为止，在欧洲它主要用于拥有全国性登记系统的斯堪的纳维亚国家。以一项针对移民的大型回顾性队列研究为例，我们证明了这种方法在德国也是可行的，德国没有中央登记处，也没有公民的唯一身份识别号码。
