Treatment and Outcomes for Congestive Heart Failure by Race/Ethnicity in TRICARE
BACKGROUND: Equitable access to health insurance coverage may improve outcomes of care for chronic health conditions and mitigate racial/ethnic health disparities. This study examines racial/ethnic disparities in the treatment and outcomes of care for TRICARE beneficiaries with congestive heart failure (CHF). METHODS: Using a retrospective cohort analysis, we examined demographic characteristics, sources of care, and comorbid conditions for 2183 …
Are African Americans Really Less Willing to Use Health Care
Racial and ethnic disparities in medical treatment are usually held to reflect an implicit physician bias and/or patient predispositions and expectations. Although evidence favoring either side has been slim, predispositions have played an increasingly prominent role in the debate. Indeed, even opposing sides seem to take for granted that African Americans are more averse to using health care and more skeptical of its effectiveness. In this artic…
Impact of Pain on Depression Treatment Response in Primary Care
OBJECTIVE: Pain commonly coexists with depression, but its impact on treatment outcomes has not been well studied. Therefore, we prospectively evaluated the impact of comorbid pain on depression treatment response and health-related quality of life. METHODS: We analyzed data from the ARTIST study, a randomized controlled trial with naturalistic follow-up conducted in 37 primary care clinics. Participants were 573 clinically depressed patients ran…
Patient Adherence and Medical Treatment Outcomes
BACKGROUND: Adherence is a factor in the outcome of medical treatment, but the strength and moderators of the adherence-outcome association have not been systematically assessed. OBJECTIVES: A quantitative review using meta-analysis of three decades of empirical research correlating adherence with objective measures of treatment outcomes. METHOD: Sixty-three studies assessing patient adherence and outcomes of medical treatment were found involvin…
Depression Is a Risk Factor for Noncompliance With Medical Treatment
BACKGROUND: Depression and anxiety are common in medical patients and are associated with diminished health status and increased health care utilization. This article presents a quantitative review and synthesis of studies correlating medical patients' treatment noncompliance with their anxiety and depression. METHODS: Research on patient adherence catalogued on MEDLINE and PsychLit from January 1, 1968, through March 31, 1998, was examined, and …
Use of Claims Data for Research on Treatment and Outcomes of Depression Care
BACKGROUND: Data sources such as medical insurance claims are increasingly used in outcomes research. In this report, we present opportunities and limitations associated with the use of such data for outcomes research in the area of depression. OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this report is to illustrate the use of administrative claims data in conducting research in the area of depression. Information in this report is intended to be helpful to both …
Effect of Mental Health Specialty Care on Antidepressant Length of Therapy
OBJECTIVES: Treatment of depression with medications and psychotherapy clearly is efficacious, but not all patients require such intensive therapy. In this report, we examine the costs and effects of dual treatment on a population of employees and their families with depression. We sought to determine the costs and length of medication treatment consequences of providing mental health specialty care to antidepressant-treated individuals. RESEARCH…
SSRI Antidepressant Drug Use Patterns in the Naturalistic Setting
BACKGROUND: The study of the duration and pattern of antidepressant use in actual clinical practice can provide important insights into how antidepressant prescribing patterns compare with recommended depression treatment guidelines. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study, using data available from depressed outpatients in the United States, is to assess the effects of initial SSRI antidepressant selection on the subsequent pattern and duration of …
Information Needs for Medication Coverage Decisions in a State Medicaid Program
BACKGROUND: Health plans commonly face the conflicting demands of trying to provide access to novel technologies, including new classes of medications, while trying to contain costs. These demands are particularly acute for California's Medicaid program, known as Medi-Cal, which is responsible for delivery of medical care to an unusually large population of mentally ill individuals in the context of a culturally diverse environment. To meet the c…
Reliability, Validity, and Application of the Medical Outcomes Study 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) in Schizophrenic Patients Treated With Olanzapine Versus Haloperidol
UNLABELLED: Schizophrenia leads to impairments in mental, social, and physical functioning, which should be included in evaluations of treatment. OBJECTIVES: This study was designed to determine the reliability and validity of the Medical Outcomes Study Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) for schizophrenic patients, to characterize perceived functioning and well being and to compare short-term change in SF-36 scores for patients treated with olanzap…
