Assessing the Impacts of Misclassified Case-Mix Factors on Health Care Provider Profiling
Quantitative metrics are used to develop profiles of health care institutions, including hospitals, nursing homes, and dialysis clinics. These profiles serve as measures of quality of care, which are used to compare institutions and determine reimbursement, as a part of a national effort led by the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services in the United States. However, there is some concern about how misclassification in case-mix factors, which …
Assessing Residual Bias in Estimating Influenza Vaccine Effectiveness
BACKGROUND: Estimating influenza vaccine effectiveness using an unvaccinated comparison group may result in biased effect estimates. OBJECTIVES: To explore the reduction of confounding bias in an active comparison of high-dose versus standard-dose influenza vaccines, as compared with vaccinated versus unvaccinated comparisons. METHODS: Using Medicare data from the United States end-stage renal disease program (2009-2013), we compared the risk of …
Regional and Temporal Variations in Comorbidity Among US Dialysis Patients
Medicare claims data are commonly used to query comorbidities for case-mix adjustment in research of patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in the United States. These adjustments may affect reimbursement and quality rating through comparative profiling and ranking of dialysis facilities. We studied regional and temporal variations in comorbidity from claims data in the United States Renal Data System. Patients with a previous 1-year Medica…
Hospitalization and Skilled Nursing Care are Predictors of Influenza Vaccination Among Patients on Hemodialysis
BACKGROUND: Observational studies of preventive medications, such as vaccinations, can suffer from the healthy-user bias because vaccinated patients may be healthier than unvaccinated patients. Indicators of health status and frailty suitable for attenuating this bias could be identified in administrative data. OBJECTIVE: To examine the association of baseline variables and time-dependent hospitalization and skilled nursing care with the receipt …
