  • Inventory of Data Sources for Estimating Health Care Costs in the United States

    Jennifer L Lund, K Robin Yabroff et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2009Referencias: 23

    OBJECTIVE: To develop an inventory of data sources for estimating health care costs in the United States and provide information to aid researchers in identifying appropriate data sources for their specific research questions. METHODS: We identified data sources for estimating health care costs using 3 approaches: (1) a review of the 18 articles included in this supplement, (2) an evaluation of websites of federal government agencies, non profit …

  • Health Limitations and Quality of Life Associated With Cancer and Other Chronic Diseases by Phase of Care

    K Robin Yabroff, Timothy S Mcneel et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2007Referencias: 27

    OBJECTIVE: To estimate health limitations and health-related quality of life (HRQL) associated with cancer and other chronic conditions in a nationally representative sample within a phase-of-care framework. STUDY DESIGN AND SETTING: We used a nested case-control design to assess health limitations and HRQL in individuals reporting a breast, colorectal, prostate, or lung cancer diagnosis, or a diagnosis of arthritis, diabetes, heart disease, or h…

  • Mortality

    Open AccessK Robin Yabroff, William F Lawrence et al.ARTICLEThe Journal of Rural Health2005

    Context: Despite advances in early detection and prevention of cervical cancer, women living in rural areas, and particularly in Appalachia, the rural South, the Texas/Mexico border, and the central valley of California, have had consistently higher rates of cervical cancer mortality than their counterparts in other areas during the past several decades. Methods: This paper reviews the published literature from 1966 to July 2002 to assess three p…

  • A National Catalog of Preference-Based Scores for Chronic Conditions in the United States

    Patrick W Sullivan, William F Lawrence et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2005Referencias: 27

    BACKGROUND: The variability in preferences used in quality-adjusted life-years estimation jeopardizes the comparability of cost-effectiveness analyses and has led the Panel on Cost-Effectiveness in Health and Medicine (the PCEHM) to call for a catalog of "off-the-shelf" preference weights associated with conditions that can be used by health researchers without the burden of collecting primary data. OBJECTIVE: The current research responds to the…

  • Demographic Variation in SF-12 Scores

    John A Fleishman, William F Lawrence et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2003Referencias: 24

    Background. Demographic differences have been reported in summary measures of physical and mental health based on the SF-12 instrument. Objectives. This study examines the extent to which differential item functioning (DIF) contributes to observed subgroup differences in health status. DIF refers to situations in which the psychometric properties of items are not invariant across different groups. The presence of DIF confounds interpretation of s…

  • Effect of Treatment on Quality of Life Among Men With Clinically Localized Prostate Cancer

    Marilyn M Schapira, William F Lawrence et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2001Referencias: 27

    BACKGROUND: Quality-of-life outcomes are an important consideration for patients evaluating therapeutic options for localized prostate cancer. OBJECTIVES: The objective of this study was to describe the effect of treatment choice on change in health-related quality of life (HRQOL) among men with clinically localized prostate cancer. RESEARCH DESIGN: This was a prospective observational study. SUBJECTS: The study subjects were 122 men with clinica…
