Addressing health literacy among long-term unemployed persons
This study revealed small improvements in proximal outcome variables indicating feasibility and potential impact. However, more research is necessary to determine the effectiveness of this novel problem-based learning intervention
Levels of outpatient prescribing for four major antibiotic classes and rates of septicemia hospitalization in adults in different US states - a statistical analysis
Our results suggest positive associations between the rates of prescribing for penicillins and the rates of hospitalization with septicemia in US adults aged 50-84y. Further studies are needed to better understand the potential effect of antibiotic replacement in the treatment of various syndromes, including the potential impact of the recent US FDA guidelines on restriction of fluoroquinolone use, as well as the potential effect of changes in th…
Impact of Race/Ethnicity and Socioeconomic Status on Risk-Adjusted Readmission Rates
Under the Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program (HRRP) of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), hospitals with excess readmissions for select conditions and procedures are penalized. However, readmission rates are not risk adjusted for socioeconomic status (SES) or race/ethnicity. We examined how adding SES and race/ethnicity to the CMS risk-adjustment algorithm would affect hospitals’ excess readmission ratios and potential penal…
Marginal Hospital Cost of Surgery-related Hospital-acquired Pressure Ulcers
BACKGROUND: Patients who develop hospital-acquired pressure ulcers (HAPUs) are more likely to die, have longer hospital stays, and are at greater risk of infections. Patients undergoing surgery are prone to developing pressure ulcers (PUs). OBJECTIVE: To estimate the hospital marginal cost of a HAPU for adults patients who were hospitalized for major surgeries, adjusted for patient characteristics, comorbidities, procedures, and hospital characte…
Hospital Revisits Within 30 Days After Conventional and Robotically Assisted Hysterectomy
OBJECTIVES: To compare the rates of hospital readmissions, emergency department, and outpatient clinic visits after discharge for robotically assisted (RA) versus nonrobotic hysterectomy in women age 30 or more with nonmalignant conditions. DATA SOURCES: Discharges for 2011 for 8 states (CA, FL, GA, IA, MO, NE, NY, TN) (>86,000 inpatient hysterectomies) were drawn from the statewide databases of the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project. Data f…

Likelihood of Hospital Readmission after First Discharge
This study tests whether the likelihood of hospital readmission within 30 days of discharge is different for enrollees in Medicare Advantage plans versus the standard fee-for-service program. A key requirement is to control for self-selection into Advantage plans. The study uses statewide inpatient databases maintained by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality for five states in 2006. The type of Medicare coverage is known, along with an …
How Often Do Catastrophic Injury Victims Become Medicaid Recipients
BACKGROUND: People without adequate insurance may separate financially from their families and move onto Medicaid after a catastrophic injury. Medicaid then covers all of their medical care costs. No estimates for Medicaid conversions due to injury exist in the literature. OBJECTIVES: To estimate Medicaid conversions due to injury for people 21-64 years old. RESEARCH DESIGN: This study analyzes the 2003 Medicaid Analytic eXtract files (the most r…

Do Peasants Need GM Crops
Si tratta di una review di una monografia di Annette Aurélie Desmarais sul movimento internazionale "La Vía Campesina". La recensione analizza in particolare il ruolo che gioca il fatto che l'autrice sia una insider del movimento e come da una parte costituisca un valore aggiunto all'analisi dettagliata della nascita e storia del movimento medesimo e dall'altra ne costituisca un limite, un impedimento alla percezione delle sue contraddizioni e un…
Recent Improvements in Bariatric Surgery Outcomes
OBJECTIVE: Bariatric surgery is one of the fastest growing hospital procedures, but with a 40% complication rate in 2001. Between 2001 and 2005 bariatric surgeries grew by 113%. Our objective is to examine how 6-month complications improved between 2001 and 2006, using a nationwide, population-based sample. DATA/DESIGN: We examined insurance claims in 2001-2002 and 2005-2006 for 9582 bariatric surgeries, at 652 hospitals, among a population of 16…
Sensitivity of Household Reported Medical Conditions in the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey
INTRODUCTION: Accurate survey data on medical conditions are critical for health care researchers. Although medical condition data are complex and are subject to reporting error, little information exists on the quality of household reported condition data. METHODS: We used pooled data from 4 years (2002-2005) of the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS) to estimate the extent to which household respondents may underreport 23 types of medical c…

Healthcare Utilization and Outcomes After Bariatric Surgery
OBJECTIVE: Bariatric surgery is one of the fastest growing hospital procedures. Our objective is to examine the safety outcomes and utilization of resources in the 6 months after bariatric surgery using a nationwide, population-based sample. DATA/DESIGN: We examine insurance claims for 2522 bariatric surgeries, at 308 hospitals, among a population of 5.6 million nonelderly people covered by large employers in the 2001-2002 MarketScan data. Outcom…

Un bandolero para el recuerdo
The purpose of this article is to show the different ways that Efraín González, a very well known bandit from the period of la Violencia, is remembered. The fact that Efraín belonged to the Conservative Party makes him an interesting figure for those interested in studying violence and banditry in Colombia. Also important is the way that local level historical continuities are established between this bandolero and armed actors of more recent per…
NHQR/NHDR Measures for Women of Reproductive Age
BACKGROUND: This article addresses measures of importance to women of reproductive age in the first National Healthcare Quality Report (NHQR) and National Healthcare Disparities Report (NHDR). METHODS: The authors review each of the 4 components of quality of care: effectiveness, safety, timeliness, and patient centeredness. The effectiveness component topics with relevance to women of childbearing age include breast cancer, cervical cancer, HIV,…
Comorbidity Measures for Use with Administrative Data
OBJECTIVES: This study attempts to develop a comprehensive set of comorbidity measures for use with large administrative inpatient datasets. METHODS: The study involved clinical and empirical review of comorbidity measures, development of a framework that attempts to segregate comorbidities from other aspects of the patient's condition, development of a comorbidity algorithm, and testing on heterogeneous and homogeneous patient groups. Data were …
Technology Coverage Decisions by Health Care Plans and Considerations by Medical Directors
OBJECTIVES: Decisions made by private health care plans as to whether to cover new medical technology have a significant impact on access, diffusion, and costs. This study describes the variation in health plan coverage of different laser technologies and the types of considerations used in making coverage decisions for them. METHODS: In a cross-sectional national survey of medical directors at private plans, medical directors indicated current c…
