Subsequently a pseudonymisation procedure is carried out: the CIPA is eliminated by the computer technicians of the autonomous community, maintaining a pseudonymised identifier that distinguishes each patient from the Others in BIFAP. At the AEMPS, the Patient ID is finally generated from the first identifier.Linkage completenessOnly patients included the Primary care medical records (PC-MR) and identified with a CIPA (the single linkage variable) are linked to the Other Data sources in BIFAP. Therefore, completeness is 100%. On the Other hand, any patients identified with a CIPA in Data sources (Data banks) but not having a PC-MR are not included in BIFAP.

At the AEMPS, the Patient ID is finally generated from the first identifier. In the Causes of Death national registry persons personal identifiers are different from the CIPA. Therefore, an additional linkage process of the CIPA and the personal identifiers in the Causes of Death national registry (national identitiy number and Others) is performed by the autonomous regions.Linkage completenessOnly patients included the Primary care medical records (PC-MR) and identified with a CIPA (the single linkage variable) are linked to the Other Data sources in BIFAP.
