A Review on the Application and Limitations of Administrative Health Care Data for the Study of Acute Kidney Injury Epidemiology and Outcomes in Children

Abstract: Administrative health care databases contain valuable patient information generated by health care encounters. These “big data” repositories have been increasingly used in epidemiological health research internationally in recent years as they are easily accessible and cost-efficient and cover large populations for long periods. Despite these beneficial characteristics, it is also important to consider the limitations that administrative health research presents, such as issues related to data incompleteness a… Show more

“…These results are subject to the challenges routinely reported with use of administrative claims data, 56 which are not collected for research but for reimbursement purposes. 57 Primary medication nonadherence (ie, the individual never filled the prescription) is not captured by administrative claims data 58 and thus was not measured by our study. Propensity score matching of AP controls and AS initiators did not include baseline use of antidepressant therapy or anxiolytics due to sample size limitations, resulting in mismatch between AP controls’ and AS initiators’ baseline use of these medications, which could introduce biases.…”

“…Therefore, administrative data are useful screening tools to identify areas in which quality should be investigated more thoroughly through audits. Despite these beneficial characteristics, it is also important to consider the limitations that administrative health research presents, such as issues related to data accuracy and incompleteness [52]. Indeed, there is a need for interventions that instill staff with greater care in compiling health administrative data.…”

“…Six percent (n = 21) of the examined studies utilized administrative data, yet a growing number of studies are using such data in recent years in health-related studies [50]. Administrative data, including data from Medicaid, Medicare, and electronic health records (EHRs), can provide a wealth of information on the health status, utilization, and costs of specific populations.…”
