Investigation of Bias Sample Clauses

Investigation of Bias. A loss of cases resulting by non-matching records is inherent to this type of linkage process. Thus, this section presents a first approach to investigate a possible bias resulting from the linkage process based on the statistical analysis of the variables age, gender, injury severity, and diagnosis-related group code (DRG) by comparing them before and after the linkage. Note that each individual data set is likely to be inaccurate and biased in reporting as a consequence of the various problems described in the section 3.2 and widely reported in the literature (9, 21-24). The age, gender, and injury severity are analyzed using the police data set as a source reference, because the hospital data sets may include accidents occurred outside the studied area. The DRG is analyzed using the hospital data set as a reference, because this information is only recorded at the hospitals. The DRG is based on a codification process to assess the inpatient cost. Table 6 presents the average and standard deviation of these variables before (full data) and after (linked data) the linkage process. Table 6 - Average (standard deviation) of the age, gender, severity and DRG Source Reference Variable Full Data Linked Data Age 37.5 (20.2) 40.4 (19.7) Police Gender 1.90 (1.00) 1.98 (1.00) Severity 0.03 (0.17) 0.07 (0.34) Hospital DRG 438.5 (268.1) 396.5 (257.3)
