Linking to the Medical Conditions File. The conditions-event link file (CLNK) file provides a link from MEPS event files to the 2014 2013 Medical Conditions File. When using the CLNK, data users/analysts should keep in mind that (1) conditions are household-reported, (2) there may be multiple conditions associated with a hospital inpatient stay, an emergency room visit and (3) a condition may link to more than one hospital inpatient stay emergency room visit or any other type of visit. Data users/analysts should also note that not all hospital inpatient stays emergency room visits link to the medical conditions file. ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇.▇. (1998).
