We sought to develop and validate a method for linking a cohort study to a state-wide hospital admissions dataset with limited availability of unique identifying variables.
Analysis of the two linked databases (obtained from comparing the main dataset with hospital admissions dataset and comparing the main one with outpatient treatment dataset) revealed only 10 exact links and 76 possible links.
This study aimed to develop the most appropriate method for linking a large cohort study to a state-wide hospital admissions dataset, with limited availability of unique identifying variables in either dataset.
Coding and recording of all AMI's in the hospital admissions dataset is not perfect and there may be an underestimate of number of AMI's by approximately 10%, as some MI's are recorded using imprecise coding.

Data from the Myocardial Ischaemia National Audit Project MINAPP) data [ 15] was obtained, with permission from the data guardians, for the period 1st April 2003-31st March 2006 in order to examine validity of data held in the hospital admissions dataset.
Our findings suggest that record linkage with a hospital admissions dataset that has limited identifiers offers an opportunity to identify long-term health outcomes in an established cohort study, significantly increasing the value of the study.
Discharges prior to July 1 , 1999were coded using the Ninth Revision of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-9)[ 15] so discharges from July 1 , 1999to December 31, 2000 and coded using the Tenth Revision were mapped back to their equivalent ICD-9 code to allow comparisons across the admissions dataset.
