Abstract: Persons living with HIV engage in routine clinical care, generating large amounts of data in observational HIV cohorts. These data are often error‐prone, and directly using them in biomedical research could bias estimation and give misleading results. A cost‐effective solution is the two‐phase design, under which the error‐prone variables are observed for all patients during Phase I, and that information is used to select patients for data auditing during Phase II. For example, the Caribbean, Central, and South America network for HIV epidemiology (CCASAnet) selected a random sample from each site for data auditing. Herein, we consider efficient odds ratio estimation with partially audited, error‐prone data. We propose a semiparametric approach that uses all information from both phases and accommodates a number of error mechanisms. We allow both the outcome and covariates to be error‐prone and these errors to be correlated, and selection of the Phase II sample can depend on Phase I data in an arbitrary manner. We devise a computationally efficient, numerically stable EM algorithm to obtain estimators that are consistent, asymptotically normal, and asymptotically efficient. We demonstrate the advantages of the proposed methods over existing ones through extensive simulations. Finally, we provide applications to the CCASAnet cohort.
