One method of reducing this hazard would be to "vertically partition" those Disease Registers which hold particularly sensitive data into a series of " sub-Registers", each of which would receive and accumulate only a small subset of the data items required by a Disease Register as a whole for each case of disease (or for each health event).
Evidence for improved survival with opiate substitution treatment remained after adjustment (for HIV, history of overdose, prison history, age at first injection, calendar period of onset), with the hazard of death reduced by 13%95%5% confidence interval 17%to9%9%, P<0.001).
