Privacy technology to support data sharing for comparative effectiveness research: a systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Effective data sharing is critical for comparative effectiveness research (CER), but there are significant concerns about inappropriate disclosure of patient data. These concerns have spurred the development of new technologies for privacy-preserving data sharing and data mining. Our goal is to review existing and emerging techniques that may be appropriate for data sharing related to CER.

Materials and methods

We adapted a systematic review methodology to comprehensively search the research literature. We searched 7 databases and applied 3 stages of filtering based on titles, abstracts, and full text to identify those works most relevant to CER.

Results

On the basis of agreement and using the arbitrage of a third party expert, we selected 97 articles for me
