Rates and Predictors of Patient Underreporting of Hospitalizations During Follow-Up After Acute Myocardial Infarction: An Assessment From the TRIUMPH Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Many clinical investigations depend on participant self-report as a principal method of identifying health care events. If self-report is used as the trigger to collect and adjudicate medical records, any event that is not reported by the patient will be missed by the investigators, reducing the power of the study and misrepresenting the risk of its participants. We sought to determine the rates and predictors of underreporting hospitalization events during the follow-up period of a prospective study of patients hospitalized with an acute myocardial infarction.

Methods and results

The TRIUMPH (Translational Research Investigating Underlying Disparities in Acute Myocardial Infarction Patients' Health Status) registry, a longitudinal multicenter cohort study of peop
