Assessing Years of Life Lost Versus Number of Deaths in the United States, 1995–2015
Objectives. To assess years of life lost to each cause of death in the United States between 1995 and 2015, and compare it with the number of deaths. Methods. We used Vital Statistics mortality data and defined “life-years lost” as remaining life expectancy for each decedent’s age, sex, and race. We calculated the share of life-years lost to each cause of death in each year, and examined reasons for changes. Results. In 2015, heart disease caused…
Vitamin D deficiency in minority populations
Objective Black and Hispanic individuals synthesize less vitamin D per unit of sun exposure than white individuals. The relationship between UV radiation and vitamin D insufficiency in minorities has not been well explored. Design Prospective cohort study. Setting Using the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, we obtained serum vitamin D levels for non-Hispanic Whites, Hispanics and non-Hispanic Blacks aged ≥18 years from 2000–2006. …
The Effect of the Diffusion of the Surgical Robot on the Hospital-level Utilization of Partial Nephrectomy
INTRODUCTION: The rapid diffusion of the surgical robot has been controversial because of the technology's high costs and its disputed marginal benefit. Some, however, have suggested that adoption of the robot may have improved care for patients with renal malignancy by facilitating partial nephrectomy, an underutilized, technically challenging procedure believed to be less morbid than radical nephrectomy. We sought to determine whether instituti…
