The problem of missing data is frequently encountered in observational studies. We compared approaches to dealing with missing data. Three multiple imputation methods were compared with a method of enhancing a clinical database through merging with administrative data. The clinical database used for comparison contained information collected from 6,065 cardiac care patients in 1995 in the province of Alberta, Canada. The effectiveness of the different strategies was evaluated using measures of discrimination and goodness of fit for the 1995 data. The strategies were further evaluated by examining how well the models predicted outcomes in data collected from patients in 1996. In general, the different methods produced similar results, with one of the multiple imputation methods demonstrating a slight advantage. It is concluded that the choice of missing data strategy should be guided by statistical expertise and data resources.
