DESCRIPTION: The purpose of this SBIR grant is to make simulated MEDICARE databases of cancer research information filled with dummy records embedded in the NCHS SETS software. The data values in the dummy records must be distributed by age, race, location, etc. similarly to the distribution of values in the real records so that computations using them will be useful. Such dummy databases could offer significant advantages in cost, ease of use and confidentiality restrictions over using real data, for preliminary/introductory use of MEDICARE datasets -- though of course they could not replace using real data for research studies. In Phase I, dummy datasets were constructed for prostate cancer and female breast cancer from the MEDICARE 1994 Inpatient Standard Analytical File using a Stratified Averaging and Sampling (SAVES) technique. HCFA approved the prostate dummy data- simulation for general release with no confidentiality restrictions. Phase-II will enhance the dummy simulation system to include additional cancers, better representation of racial distributions, enrollment/ population "denominator" data, the SEER-MEDICARE link system (Potosky 93) and other aspects. Perhaps a standardized dummying protocol could be developed, leading to similar simulations for many distribution- sensitive medical datasets. PROPOSED COMMERCIAL APPLICATION: The proposed commercial applications are Educational Materials for students and researchers. Project products (CD-ROM and Web) will enable users to become familiar with MEDICARE & SEER data without high costs or privacy liabilities, and to design studies by estimating key properties of data. Tutorials will illustrate methods of cancer research using medicare data.

描述：此SBIR赠款的目的是使模拟 MEDICARE癌症研究信息数据库填充了虚拟数据 记录嵌入NCHS SETS软件。 中的数据值 虚拟记录必须按年龄、种族、位置等分布。 类似于真实的记录中的值的分布， 使用它们的计算将是有用的。这种虚拟数据库可以提供 在成本、易用性和保密性方面的显著优势 对使用真实的数据的限制，用于初步/介绍性使用 MEDICARE数据集--尽管它们当然不能取代使用真实的 研究数据。 在第一阶段，构建了虚拟数据集 1994年MEDICARE前列腺癌和女性乳腺癌 使用分层平均法的住院患者标准分析文件， SAVES技术。 HCFA批准了前列腺虚拟数据- 模拟无保密限制的一般发布。 第二阶段将加强假人模拟系统， 癌症，更好地代表种族分布，招募/ 人口“分母”数据，SEER-MEDICARE链接系统（Potosky 93)等方面的 也许一个标准化的假人协议可以 开发，导致类似的模拟许多分布- 敏感的医疗数据 拟定商业应用： 建议的商业用途是教育材料， 学生和研究人员。项目产品（光盘和网络）将使 用户熟悉MEDICARE和SEER数据，无需支付高昂费用 或隐私责任，并通过估计关键 数据的属性。图坦卡蒙将说明癌症研究的方法 使用医疗保险数据。
