摘要: We investigated the accuracy of self-report hospitalization for acute myocardial infarction (MI) by elderly persons in a community-based prospective study. Among 3809 aged 65 years or older followed up 6 years, self-reported MI was validated review primary records and Medicare diagnoses. 147 who whom hospital were available, diagnosis confirmed 79 (54%). Myocardial not reason among remaining 68 participants; misclassification with other cardiovascular diagnoses common. correlated well records. Using as standard, 53% self-reports; sensitivity specificity 51% 98%, respectively. False-negative reporting common because only half hospitalizations reported. Self-report community may be unreliable ascertaining trends diseases.
