Despite the abundance of electronic healthcare data, many important clini-cal investigations are limited to administrative claims data because of wide availability and healthcare ascertainment coverage. Specifically, Medicare data includes millions of patients with demographic data, International Classification of Diseases codes, medication data, and cost data over an extended period of time. Such data are advantageous because they are easily accessible, use standard variable definitions, and require minimal data cleaning. The data lend themselves to large population and trend analyses, but granular clinical details are absent, a perpetual challenge for nuanced analyses. Medicare data often lack key features of clinical decision making, comorbidities, and treatments that result in misclassification and unmeasured confounding in analyses.
