Effects of residential socioeconomic polarization on high blood pressure among nursing home residents
Comparison of Pharmacy Database Methods for Determining Prevalent Chronic Medication Use
BACKGROUND: Pharmacy dispensing data are frequently used to identify prevalent medication use as a predictor or covariate in observational research studies. Although several methods have been proposed for using pharmacy dispensing data to identify prevalent medication use, little is known about their comparative performance. OBJECTIVES: The authors sought to compare the performance of different methods for identifying prevalent outpatient medicat…
Reasons for Not Prescribing Guideline-recommended Medications to Adults With Heart Failure
BACKGROUND: Little is known about how often contextual factors such as patient preferences and competing priorities impact prescribing of guideline-recommended medications, or about the extent to which these factors are documented in medical records and available to performance measurement systems. METHODS: Mixed-methods study of 295 veterans aged 50 years and older in 4 VA health care systems who had systolic heart failure and were not prescribe…
A Clinically Guided Approach for Improving Performance Measurement for Hypertension
BACKGROUND: Performance measures often fail to account for legitimate reasons why patients do not achieve recommended treatment targets. METHODS: We tested a novel performance measurement system for blood pressure (BP) control that was designed to mimic clinical reasoning. This clinically guided approach focuses on (1) exempting patients for whom tight BP control may not be appropriate or feasible and (2) assessing BP over time. Trained abstracto…
Impact of Cognitive Impairment on Screening Mammography Use in Older US Women
Objectives. We evaluated mammography rates for cognitively impaired women in the context of their life expectancies, given that guidelines do not recommend screening mammography in women with limited life expectancies because harms outweigh benefits. Methods. We evaluated Medicare claims for women aged 70 years or older from the 2002 wave of the Health and Retirement Study to determine which women had screening mammography. We calculated populati…
