Abstract: Health technology assessment (HTA) is the systematic evaluation of the properties and impacts of health technologies and interventions. In this article, we presented a discussion of HTA and its evolution in Brazil, as well as a description of secondary data sources available in Brazil with potential applications to generate evidence for HTA and policy decisions. Furthermore, we highlighted record linkage, ongoing record linkage initiatives in Brazil, and the main linkage tools developed and/or used in Brazilia… Show more

“…10 Individual records from the 2 data sets were deterministically linked using 5 identifying variables: name, mother's name, sex, date of birth, and municipality of residence. 11 A manual assessment of 10 000 random pairs showed sensitivity of 0.91 (95% CI, 0.90-0.92) and specificity of 0.89 (95% CI, 0.88-0.90). 12 The study was approved by the ethics committees of the Universidade de Brasilia, Brazil, the Instituto Gonçalo Muniz (Fiocruz), Salvador, Brazil, and the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, London, United Kingdom.…”

“…An essential consideration of this linkage is the massive amount of data, which increases the technical complexity to perform the linkage process in a scalable and accurate way. The innovative of the CIDACS-RL is the use of the search engine indexing as a blocking strategy 14 . A traditional blocking strategy is applied to reduce the number of potential records comparisons that likely not match and avoid waste of computational resources.…”

“…To enable the record linkage promptly when massive datasets are involved, we need to resort to methods capable of avoiding unnecessary comparisons, keeping the accuracy, once, the total number of pairwise comparisons between SINASC and CadUnico would be prohibitively high 44,485,267 x 114,007,705=5,07166e15. To meet these challenges, we use the CIDACS-RL 14 ; a novel record linkage tool developed to link big administrative datasets at the CIDACS.…”
