Validation of recording of co-morbidity

Investigators: Diane Watson (CI).

This project is led by Dr Diane Watson, an associate researcher with the Manitoba Centre for Health Policy and recently visiting Research Fellow at the Sax Institute. The study uses self-reported information from the 45 and Up Study baseline questionnaire to explore the sensitivity and specificity of the recording of comorbidities in APDC data, and the factors (person- and hospital-related) that influence this.
