A Malawian study of 76 clinical ART failure cases showed that extrapulmonary TB and Kaposi's sarcoma were the most common conditions causing misclassification compared to virologic failure gold standard, but these factors were not significant in multivariable analysis [45].
In the remaining potential bimodal genes, highly significant SNP associations were less common (possibly reflecting misclassification of bimodal genes), though still more frequent than occurs genome-wide.
Three of the five misclassified pRCCs, exhibited alterations consistent with ccRCC (one with <20% clonal abnormalities) but no common reason for misclassification was evident.
In our study, the most common source of misclassification was subthreshold hyperglycemia, accounting for 6%and14%4% of adjudicated cases that respectively met the primary or secondary case definitions.
Misclassification was common among children with severe illness, and incorrect treatment was common regardless of whether children were correctly classified.
Misclassification is common in VPM studies, but this can be minimised when broad categories such as 'infection', 'prematurity' and 'asphyxia' are used.
Fourth, exposure misclassification, a common issue for ecological studies, was inevitable because we considered only the outlet densities within the neighbourhood of residence at the time of hospitalisation or death.
The vast majority of misclassifications were common words appearing in hospital names, which pose minimal risk to patient privacy.
Covariate misclassification is a common problem in epidemiology, genetics, and other biomedical areas.
Although finely-classified habitat maps provide more detail, they may have more misclassification errors, a common problem when remotely-sensed imagery is used.
