Methodologic Approaches for Using Electronic Medical Records to Identify Experiences of Violence in Transgender and Cisgender People
BACKGROUND: Transgender people experience extreme rates of violence and the electronic medical record (EMR) remains a mostly untapped resource to study the medical sequelae of such experiences. OBJECTIVES: To develop and test a method for identifying experiences of violence using EMR data. RESEARCH DESIGN: Cross-sectional study utilizing EMR data. PEOPLE: Transgender and cisgender people seen at a regional referral center in Upstate New York. MEA…
Quality of life and metastatic breast cancer
Periodontal health, perceived oral health, and dental care utilization of breast cancer survivors
In this sample, a history of breast cancer does not significantly impact periodontal health, self-perceived oral health, and dental care utilization. However, efforts should be made to assure that breast cancer survivors have dental insurance
Vaginal Dryness and Beyond
While research on the sexual health of women with early stage cancer has grown extensively over the past decade, markedly less information is available to support the sexual health needs of women diagnosed with advanced breast cancer. Semistructured interviews were conducted with 32 women diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer (ages 35 to 77) about questions they had concerning their sexual health and intimate relationships. All participants wer…
Changes in Use of Lipid-lowering Medications Among Black and White Dual Enrollees With Diabetes Transitioning From Medicaid to Medicare Part D Drug Coverage
BACKGROUND: The use of lipid-lowering agents is suboptimal among dual enrollees, particularly blacks. OBJECTIVES: To determine whether the removal of restrictive drug caps under Medicare Part D reduced racial differences among dual enrollees with diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN: An interrupted time series with comparison series design (ITS) cohort study. SUBJECTS: A total of 8895 black and white diabetes patients aged 18 years and older drawn from a na…
A Composite Measure of Personal Financial Burden Among Patients With Stage III Colorectal Cancer
BACKGROUND: Despite improved survival with chemotherapy for stage III colorectal cancer (CRC), patients may suffer substantial economic hardship during treatment. Methods for quantifying financial burden in CRC patients are lacking. OBJECTIVE: To derive and validate a novel patient-reported measure of personal financial burden during CRC treatment. DATA COLLECTION: Within a population-based survey of patients in the Detroit and Georgia Surveillan…
Life‐Threatening Disparities
Cancer mortality and survival rates are much poorer for Black patients than for White patients. We argue that Black–White treatment disparities are a major reason for these disparities. We examine three specific kinds of Black–White treatment disparities: disparities in information exchange in oncology interactions, disparities in the treatment of breast cancer, and disparities in the treatment of clinically localized prostate cancer. In the fina…
Chemotherapy Was Not Associated With Cognitive Decline in Older Adults With Breast and Colorectal Cancer
OBJECTIVES: This study tested 2 hypotheses: (1) chemotherapy increases the rate of cognitive decline in breast and colorectal cancer patients beyond what is typical of normal aging and (2) chemotherapy results in systematic cognitive declines when compared with breast and colorectal cancer patients who did not receive chemotherapy. SUBJECTS: Data came from personal interviews with a prospective cohort of patients with breast (n=141) or colorectal…
Does It Matter Where You Go for Breast Surgery
BACKGROUND: Concerns about the use of mastectomy and breast reconstruction for breast cancer have motivated interest in surgeon's influence on the variation in receipt of these procedures. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the influence of surgeons on variations in the receipt of mastectomy and breast reconstruction for patients recently diagnosed with breast cancer. METHODS: Attending surgeons (n = 419) of a population-based sample of breast cancer patien…
Coordinating Cancer Care
OBJECTIVES: The Institute of Medicine has called for more coordinated cancer care models that correspond to initiatives led by cancer providers and professional organizations. These initiatives parallel those underway to integrate the management of patients with chronic conditions. METHODS: We developed 5 breast cancer patient and practice management process measures based on the Chronic Care Model. We then performed a survey to evaluate patterns…
The Pen and the Scalpel
Background: As information is disseminated about best practices, variations in patterns of care should diminish over time. Objective: To test the hypotheses that differences in rates of a surgical procedure are associated with type of insurance in an era of evolving practice guidelines and that insurance and site differences diminish with time as consensus guidelines disseminate among the medical community. Methods: We use lymph node dissection a…
John Henryism—the Same Old Song
In their report in the May issue of the Journal, Bonham and colleagues1 describe John Henryism, a “behavioral predisposition to directly confront barriers to upward social mobility,” as a protective factor for African Americans’ health.2 The authors draw on the work of Sherman A. James to propose that this type of “active coping” will lessen the effects of racially based stressors, thus improving health outcomes.2 They make the valid point that p…
