The HCUP SID imputation project: improving statistical inferences for health disparities research by imputing missing race data.
The purpose of this study was to identify the most appropriate imputation method for missing data in the HCUP State Inpatient Databases (SID) and assess the impact of different missing data methods on racial disparities research. The investigators found that conditional MI prediction was equivalent or superior to the best performing alternatives for all missing data structures and substantially outperformed each of the alternatives in various scenarios.
