  • Tracking of toddler fruit and vegetable preferences to intake and adiposity later in childhood

    Open AccessSuzanne W Fletcher, Charlotte M Wright et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Nutrition2016

    This study examined whether toddlers' liking for fruit and vegetables (FV) predicts intake of FV later in childhood, how both relate to childhood adiposity and how these were moderated by factors in infancy. Children in the Gateshead Millennium Study were recruited at birth in 1999-2000. Feeding data collected in the first year were linked to data from a parental questionnaire completed for 456 children at age 2.5 years (30 m) and to anthropometr…

  • A Hybrid Approach to Identify Subsequent Breast Cancer Using Pathology and Automated Health Information Data

    Reina Haque, Jiaxiao Shi et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2015Referencias: 16

    PURPOSE: Many cancer registries do not capture recurrence; thus, outcome studies have often relied on time-intensive and costly manual chart reviews. Our goal was to build an effective and efficient method to reduce the numbers of chart reviews when identifying subsequent breast cancer (BC) using pathology and electronic health records. We evaluated our methods in an independent sample. METHODS: We developed methods for identifying subsequent BC …

  • Informed decision making before initiating screening mammography

    Open AccessLarissa Nekhlyudov, Rong Li et al.ARTICLEHealth Expectations2008

    Objective Informed decision making regarding screening mammography is recommended for women under age 50. To what extent it occurs in clinical settings is unclear. Methods Using a mailed instrument, we surveyed women aged 40–44 prior to their first screening mammogram. All women were members of a large health maintenance organization and received care at a large medical practice in the Greater Boston area. The survey measured informed decision ma…

  • Social Security Disability Determinations

    Tanya S Carey, Timothy S Carey et al.ARTICLEMedical Care1987

    Social Security spends $135 million yearly, contracting with physicians to provide consultative examinations for disability applicants. However, little is known about who these physicians are or how they view the determination of impairment. We surveyed a random sample of 153 physicians from North Carolina who performed consultative examinations for the North Carolina Disability Determinations Agency in 1983 (the consultative group), and a random…

  • Physicians and the teaching of breast self-examination

    Michael O’malley, M S O'Malley et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health1985Citada por: 1Referencias: 10

    We surveyed 80 physicians from four specialties (Family Medicine, General Medicine, General Surgery, Ob-Gyn) to investigate how they taught breast self-examination (BSE). Only half reported personally teaching BSE. Few MDs reported routinely using techniques to assess BSE competency. Most (72 per cent) claimed no formal training in teaching BSE; 10 per cent claimed no training at all. Techniques used to teach BSE may vary, and physicians may lack…

  • Measuring the Continuity and Coordination of Medical Care in a System Involving Multiple Providers

    Robert H Fletcher, Michael S O??Malley et al.ARTICLEMedical Care1984

    Patients often receive medical care from many different providers. Consequently, the various episodes of care may not be integrated into a meaningful whole, and the quality of care may suffer. Before this possibility can be evaluated, it is necessary to develop a measure of the integrating process. The authors studied the continuity and coordination of care for 197 patients attending the General Medicine Practice within a large teaching hospital.…

  • Patients?? Priorities for Medical Care

    Robert H Fletcher, Michael S O??Malley et al.ARTICLEMedical Care1983

    Relatively little research has been done on the importance patients attach to various aspects of their medical care when their options are constrained. We studied priorities for care among 225 patients attending the medical clinics of a university teaching hospital. Eight attributes of medical care were considered: continuity, coordination, comprehensiveness, availability, convenience, cost, expertise, and compassion. Priorities were established …

  • Predicting Blood Pressure Control in Hypertensive Patients

    Suzanne W Fletcher, John Deliakis et al.ARTICLEMedical Care1979

    In assessing the quality of medical care, techniques were needed which can predict which patients are likely to have good or poor health outcomes. This study describes one way of identifying a subgroup of hypertensive patients whose diastolic blood pressures (DBP) are at high risk of remaining uncontrolled while under treatment. Medical care and patient variables were measured for 123 hypertensive medical clinic patients. Stepwise discriminant an…
