Successful Linkage of Electronic Medical Records and National Health Data System in Type 2 Diabetes Research: Methodological Insights and Implications
The successful linkage of EMR and SNDS databases provides valuable insights for future research in T2D and other chronic diseases requiring clinical data. This study demonstrates the feasibility of such data alignments, particularly in patients with complex health profiles or extensive medical records, and linkage potential to enhance real-world research quality. Despite higher prevalence of baseline comorbidities among linked patients, patients' characteristics were consistent with French T2D population.
