The datasets were linked using patient scrambled Social Security Numbers.
MOHSS shared the interview data with the team conducting the medical data abstraction, and the datasets were linked by the patient TB registry number.
The datasets were linked using patient scrambled Social Security Numbers and resulted in 890, 394 Veterans, who were followed until death, loss to follow-up, or through December 2006.

Personal identifiers (including full names, sex, date of birth and address) from the datasets were linked using probabilistic methods by the Centre for Health Record Linkage.
However, only two of these datasets are linked to clinical parameters [ 31, 32]; one has been used to define a prognostic signature suggesting a role for the glutathione metabolic pathway in chemotherapy resistance [ 32].
The dataset is linked to the ID number of the clip device.
The planned resection planes from the CAS setup of the host bone are now also usable in the allograft dataset because the two datasets are linked and matched in the CAS system.
The LODD datasets are linked with each other, as well as with datasets provided by other Linked Data projects, such as Bio2RDF [22] and Chem2Bio2RDF [23], as well as primary data providers that offer their resources in RDF, such as UniProt [24, 25] and the Allen Brain Atlas [26].
Records pertaining to the same individuals from these datasets were linked together through a unique de-identified alpha-numeric code provided by the WADLS.
