Interobserver reliability in the classification of pairs of records formed by probabilistic linkage of SISMAMA databases.

Introduction: The study assessed interobserver reliability in the classification of record pairs formed during probabilistic linkage of health-related databases, a key step in the methodology validation to be used in a larger on-going study on inequalities in the access to breast and cervical cancer control activities in Brazil (DAAC-SIS).
