Association of Psychiatric Illness and All-Cause Mortality in the National Department of Veterans Affairs Health Care System
OBJECTIVE: To assess the independent association of seven psychiatric illnesses with all-cause mortality in a representative national sample of veterans, after adjustment for demographic factors, psychiatric and medical comorbidity, obesity, tobacco use, and exercise frequency. METHODS: Analyses were conducted using data from the 1999 Large Health Survey of Veteran Enrollees (n = 559,985). Cox proportional hazards models were used to examine the …

Rural‐Urban Disparities in Health‐Related Quality of Life Within Disease Categories of Veterans
Context: Compared to their urban counterparts, rural veterans have been found to have lower health‐related quality of life. Purpose: To determine whether these disparities persist when examining disease categories of rural and urban veterans. Methods: We obtained survey data on 748,216 veterans who were current or anticipated Veterans Health Administration patients. Using International Classification of Diseases (ICD)‐9CM codes, we determined whe…
Risk-Adjusted Mortality as an Indicator of Outcomes
BACKGROUND: The Medicare Advantage Program (MAP) and the Veterans' Health Administration (VHA) currently provide many services that benefit the elderly, and a comparative study of their risk-adjusted mortality rates has the potential to provide important information regarding these 2 systems of care. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this retrospective study was to compare mortality rates between the MAP and the VHA after controlling for case-mix diffe…
Differences in Health-Related Quality of Life in Rural and Urban Veterans
Objectives. We sought to determine whether disparities in health-related quality of life exist between veterans who live in rural settings and their suburban or urban counterparts. Methods. We determined health-related quality-of-life scores (physical and mental health component summaries) for 767109 veterans who had used Veterans Health Administration services within the past 3 years. We used rural/urban commuting area codes to categorize vetera…
Monitoring Depression Care
BACKGROUND: Linking process and outcomes is critical to accurately estimating healthcare quality and quantifying its benefits. OBJECTIVES: The objective of this study was to explore the relationship of guideline-based depression process measures with subsequent overall and psychiatric hospitalizations. RESEARCH DESIGN: This is a retrospective cohort study during which we used administrative and centralized pharmacy records for sample identificati…
Use of Antidepressant Medications
BACKGROUND: Information on the effectiveness of newer antidepressants like serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors in terms of healthcare utilization is limited. Treatment guidelines affect evaluation. Second-line medications are usually prescribed to patients with higher utilization. OBJECTIVES: The objective of this study was to compare antidepressants within the Veterans Affairs (VA) healthcare system on the basis of the number of outpati…
Agreement Between Administrative Data and Patients’ Self-Reports of Race/Ethnicity
Objectives. We examined agreement of administrative data with self-reported race/ethnicity and identified correlates of agreement. Methods. We used Veterans Affairs administrative data and VA 1999 Large Health survey race/ethnicity data. Results. Relatively low rates of agreement (approximately 60%) between data sources were largely the result of administrative data from patients whose race/ethnicity was unknown, with least agreement for Native A…
Measuring the Quality of Depression Care in a Large Integrated Health System
BACKGROUND: Guideline-based depression process measures provide a powerful way to monitor depression care and target areas needing improvement. OBJECTIVES: To assess the adequacy of depression care in the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) using guideline-based process measures derived from administrative and centralized pharmacy records, and to identify patient and provider characteristics associated with adequate depression care. RESEARCH DES…
Is Depressive Symptomatology Associated with Worse Oral Functioning and Well‐being Among Older Adults
These findings further emphasize the importance of treating depression among older adults, and suggest that both dentists and physicians have a role in recognizing and referring patients for such treatment
Self-Reported vs Administrative Race/Ethnicity Data and Study Results
Concerns about administrative data on race/ethnicity have led some researchers to consider self-reported race/ethnicity as superior.1–5 However, few studies have examined the differential impact of the source of race/ethnicity data, that is, observed or selfreported, on study outcomes. We investigated whether differences in reporting of race/ethnicity led to different results with regard to the use of one therapeutic dental procedure, root canal …
Risk-Adjusted Mortality Rates as a Potential Outcome Indicator for Outpatient Quality Assessments
OBJECTIVE: The quality of outpatient medical care is increasingly recognized as having an important impact on mortality. We examined whether a clinically credible risk adjustment methodology can be developed for outpatient quality assessments. RESEARCH DESIGN: This study used data from the 1998 National Survey of Ambulatory Care Patients, a prospective monitoring system of outcomes of patients receiving ambulatory care in the Veterans Affairs (VA…

Health-Related Quality of Life in Patients Served by the Department of Veterans Affairs
BACKGROUND: The Department of Veterans Affairs Health Care System (VA) is the largest integrated single payer system in the United States. To date, there has been no systematic measurement of health status in the VA. The Veterans Health Study has developed methods to assess patient-based health status in ambulatory populations. OBJECTIVES: To describe the health status of veterans and examine the relationships between their health-related quality…

The stability of health status in rheumatoid arthritis
We employed a health status measure to describe the outcomes of rheumatoid arthritis patients over five years. Of the 410 rheumatoid arthritis patients who were originally administered the Arthritis Impact Measurement Scales (AIMS), 299 completed a follow-up five years later. Data were analyzed using nine health status scales, three components of health status, and an overall arthritis impact item. Results for survivors indicated that there were …

The dimensions of health outcomes
Two independently developed patient outcome measurement instruments were administered to forty-eight subjects with rheumatoid arthritis using a random cross-over design. The independent estimates of physical disability and pain are highly correlated. Each instrument displayed highly significant relationships with global health, providing evidence for convergent validity. The results demonstrate that health status is composed of at least three maj…

Measuring patients’ desire for autonomy
Effect Sizes for Interpreting Changes in Health Status
Health status measures are being used with increasing frequency in clinical research. Up to now the emphasis has been on the reliability and validity of these measures. Less attention has been given to the sensitivity of these measures for detecting clinical change. As health status measures are applied more frequently in the clinical setting, we need a useful way to estimate and communicate whether particular changes in health status are clinica…
Assessing Oral Health-Related Quality of Life
The contribution of oral health to health-related quality of life (HQOL) has seldom been examined. This study was designed to develop and validate a measure of oral health-related quality of life (OHQOL), examine relations between OHQOL and HQOL, and explore OHQOL's relation to problem-based dental care utilization in a sample of 1,242 older men, using data gathered by a mail survey. Factor analysis of eight oral health items revealed that three …
