Article Abstract
Data sharing provides benefits in terms of transparency and innovation. Privacy concerns in this context can be addressed by anonymization techniques. In our study, we evaluated anonymization approaches which transform structured data in a real-world scenario of a chronic kidney disease cohort study and checked for replicability of research results via 95% CI overlap in two differently anonymized datasets with different protection degrees. Calculated 95% CI overlapped in both applied anonymization approaches and visual comparison presented similar results. Thus, in our use case scenario, research results were not relevantly impacted by anonymization, which adds to the growing evidence of utility-preserving anonymization techniques.

The topic of big data has attracted increasing interest in recent years. The emergence of big data leads to new difficulties in terms of protection models used for data privacy, which is of necessity for sharing and processing data. Protecting individuals' sensitive information while maintaining the usability of the data set published is the most important challenge in privacy preserving.

Background: Publishing raw electronic health records (EHRs) may be considered as a breach of the privacy of individuals because they usually contain sensitive information. A common practice for the privacy-preserving data publishing is to anonymize the data before publishing, and thus satisfy privacy models such as k-anonymity. Among various anonymization techniques, generalization is the most commonly used in medical/health data processing.

Transaction data record various information about individuals, including their purchases and diagnoses, and are increasingly published to support large-scale and low-cost studies in domains such as marketing and medicine. However, the dissemination of transaction data may lead to privacy breaches, as it allows an attacker to link an individual's record to their identity. Approaches that anonymize data by eliminating certain values in an individual's record or by replacing them with more general values have been proposed recently, but they often produce data of limited usefulness.
