| Estimating odds ratios under misclassification of the outcome in a large database cohort study when medical records are sampled. |
Our goal is to extend previously-developed methodology by this group for adjustment for misclassification, which uses all or most exposed cases but only a sub-sample of unexposed cases, to accommodate multivariable adjustment for cofounders and other covariates. The approach will be based on data-based weights applied in a logistic regression. A simulation study will be developed to examine the properties of the method. |

| Effect of CPOE intervention on AMI/CHF quality discharge planning |
We studied 286 versus 290 AMI and 595 versus 656 CHF discharges in the pre-CPOE (July 2001 to June 2002) and CPOE (October 2002 to September 2003) periods, respectively. Compliance with chosen quality measures (aspirin and B-blocker use for AMI, ejection fraction determination and discharge instructions for CHF, and angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor use, and smoking cessation counseling for both) was assessed. |
