描述了在流行病学研究中用于队列随访的通用迭代记录链接系统的发展。该系统的使用使这种大规模的研究变得可行和经济。描述了连接记录的方法，并开发了应用该方法的计算机系统的不同模块。讨论了使用广义系统的记录联系的两种应用，以及关于有效开展联系的战略的一些考虑。
The development of a generalized iterative record linkage system for use in follow-up of cohorts in epidemiologic studies is described. The availability of this system makes such large-scale studies feasible and economical. The methodology for linking records is described and the different modules of the computer system developed to apply the methodology. Two applications of record linkage using the generalized system are discussed together with some considerations regarding strategies for conducting linkages efficiently.
