Identifying reproductive-aged women with physical and sensory disabilities in administrative health data: A systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Women with disabilities experience significant health disparities. A barrier to progress in addressing these disparities is the lack of population-based data on their health outcomes, which are needed to plan health care delivery systems. Administrative health data are increasingly being used to measure the health of entire populations, but these data may only capture impairment and not activity and participation restrictions.

Objective

We conducted a systematic review to identify and appraise existing literature on the development and validation of algorithms to identify reproductive-aged women with physical and sensory disabilities in administrative health data.

Methods

We searched Medline, EMBASE, CINAHL, PsycINFO, and Scopus from inception to April 2019
