General overview of the hybrid record linkage process. a Probabilistic record linkage (PRL) followed by a stage of manual review is first applied to build a dataset allowing the construction of a supervised machine learning (ML) model. b The PRL + ML combined linkage is then used to classify the updated datasets (Record pair comparison from Database X’ and Database Y′). The ML model obtained in (a) is used (dotted arrow) for the prediction in (b)
