Table 4 Odds Ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals for ORs of comorbid conditions documented in medical record but not in patient self report or in self-report but not documented (relative to agreement of both sources): effects of patient age, education and depressive symptoms.

  3. *** For example, OR = 1.37 for the level education reflects the fact that the odds of prior AMI documented in medical record but not in self report relative to being documented in both sources were 37% higher for those with at least high school education compared to those with less than high school education.
