The reliability of medication and death recording in electronic health records among people with schizophrenia in Hong Kong
This study provides evidence on the reliability of mortality and medication data for patients with schizophrenia in two widely-used EHR databases in Hong Kong. While the record on whether an event has occurred had excellent concordance, the exact timing of events showed lower reliability, highlighting the need to consider data resolution when utilizing these databases for research.
