Pseudonymization tools for medical research: a systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Pseudonymization is an important technique for the secure and compliant use of medical data in research. At its core, pseudonymization is a process in which directly identifying information is separated from medical research data. Due to its importance, a wide range of pseudonymization tools and services have been developed, and researchers face the challenge of selecting an appropriate tool for their research projects. This review aims to address this challenge by systematically comparing existing tools.

Methods

A systematic review was performed and is reported according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines where applicable. The search covered PubMed and Web of Science to identify pseudonymization tools doc
