The major developments of recent years in computer sciences have led to the creation of large morbidity data bases. Although these data sets are not compiled expressly for research, they serve researchers if certain precautions are taken. These concern definition of the study population, unit of analysis, record linkage and both reliability and validity of the data.
近年来计算机科学的主要发展催生了大型发病率数据库。尽管这些数据集并非专门为研究而编制，但如果采取某些预防措施，它们就能为研究人员所用。这些措施涉及研究人群的定义、分析单位、记录链接以及数据的可靠性和有效性。
