Risk functions with outcome measurement error.

ABSTRACT: Mortality risk estimated from studies that ascertain date of death through linkage to vital statistics registries may be subject to outcome measurement error. As a result, some deaths among study participants may not be captured, some study participants who are alive may be falsely categorized as deceased, and some deaths may be recorded at incorrect times, leading to bias in estimates of mortality risk and survival. Here, we illustrate an extension of the Rogan-Gladen estimator to account for outcome measurement error in risk and survival functions in settings with right censoring. As a motivating application, we consider and account for outcome measurement error that could be induced by incomplete and/or incorrect linkage to death registries when estimating mortality risk among people en
