Evaluation of Privacy Risks of Patients' Data in China: Case Study.

Through the experiments based on real-world patient data, this work illustrates that the results of g-distinct analysis about Chinese patient privacy risk are similar to those from a previous US study, in which data from different organizations/regions might be vulnerable to different reidentification risks under different policies. This work provides reference to Chinese health care entities for estimating patients' privacy risk during data sharing, which laid the foundation of privacy risk study about Chinese patients' data in the future.
