Steering Committee Meeting Quality Control Committee Report February 8th, 2007
Overview • Exam 4 Quality Control Surveillance • Additional Investigations
Exam 4 QC Committee Surveillance • Clinic • Anthropometry measures (intra- and inter-technician) • Form data mean, variance, outliers (BP and anthro) • Interviewer protocol adherence • CT • Blind rereads (intra- and inter-reader) • Torso phantom monitoring • Protocol Violations • Laboratory • Blind duplicate assays (group 1) • Ancillary Studies (Family, Lung, MRI, …)
Additional Investigations • Drift in Fasting Glucose • Drift in Urinary Creatinine and Albumin • MESA Family Ultrasound comparability • EBCT and 64 Slice MDCT comparability • Cardiac MRI Field Center differences
Fasting Glucose Drift • Tracy Investigative Subcommittee formed 9/07 • Recommendation to sample 800 specimens • 200 from each of the 4 exams • stratified by Exam quarter (50 each) • and stratified by glucose quintile (10 each). • Assay results transmitted to CC last week. • Report initiated and scheduled for release to Tracy Investigative Committee on 2/13/07.

MRI Center Differences • After adjustment for common risk factors, there appears to be a significant Field Center effect on End Diastolic Mass (on average UMN LV Mass measures are 18 grams more than WFU, JHU LVMass is 2.6 grams more than WFU …). • Pairwise differences between all Field Centers are believed to be statistically significant. • Regressions of LV Mass Index (weight and height adjusted variant) produce similar results. • Effects also apparent for: • End Diastolic Volume • End Systolic Volume • Stroke Volume • Ejection Fraction • Cardiac Output
Routine Investigation • No evidence for • Time trends • Image quality effect • Protocol adherence effect • Technician effect • Manufacturer effect (GE vs Siemens)
