Randomized trials are the gold standard for generating clinical practice evidence, but follow-up and outcome ascertainment resource-intensive. Electronic health record (EHR) data from routine care can be a cost-effective means of follow-up, concordance with trial-ascertained outcomes is less well-studied.
