Influence of random misclassification error on relative risk estimates. The estimated relative risk for the outcome depends on the degree actual risk (RR true) and the accuracy of assessing the exposure of interest [24]. For a hypothetical observer correctly classifying exposure 80% of the time, a true relative risk of 2.5 would be estimated to be 2.0.
