12 Data source We used two linked databases for our study: the Registered Persons Data Base (RPDB) and the Canadian Institute for Health Information Hospital Discharge Abstract Database (CIHI-DAD).
To include information that is not routinely available from the FCDS (insurance payer, comorbidity, socioeconomic status, urban/ nonurban residence), cases were linked with state discharge abstracts and the 1990 US Census.
The flexibility of our software allows you unlimited access to create user-defined reports based on any of the information provided in the public release of a patient's discharge abstract.
