Article Synopsis
- The HealthGap study focused on assessing cardiovascular risk among Indigenous Australians in Victoria by using linked administrative data.
- A significant challenge was the varying geographic coverage of data sources, as state-level information related to risk factors was not fully aligned with cardiovascular outcomes from only three hospitals.
- The analysis revealed that the spatial event distribution approach was the most effective in capturing events, identifying 82% overall, with 65% of those being Indigenous cases, although there were limitations regarding misclassification from nearby non-study hospitals.
