Lessons learned from the design and implementation of myocardial infarction adjudication tailored for HIV clinical cohorts.
In this study, a team of researchers developed, implemented, and evaluated a myocardial infarction (MI) adjudication protocol for cohort research of human immunodeficiency virus. They found that central adjudication is crucial and that clinical diagnoses alone are insufficient for ascertainment of MI. Over half the events ultimately determined to be MIs were not identified by clinical diagnoses.
