Popis: | Background: Electronic medical records (EMRs) from primary care may be a feasible source of height and weight data. However the use of EMRs in research has been impeded by lack of standardization of EMRs systems, data access and concerns about the quality of the data. Objectives: The study objectives were to determine the data completeness and accuracy of child heights and weights collected in primary care EMRs, and to identify factors associated with these data quality attributes. Methods: A cross-sectional study examining height and weight data for children |
