A Machine Learning Approach to Identify Predictors of Potentially Inappropriate Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) Use in Older Adults with Osteoarthritis
Evidence from some studies suggest that osteoarthritis (OA) patients are often prescribed non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) that are not in accordance with their cardiovascular (CV) or gastrointestinal (GI) risk profiles. However, no such study has been carried out in the United States. Therefore, we sought to examine the prevalence and predictors of potentially inappropriate NSAIDs use in older adults (age > 65) with OA using machin…
Variations in VA and Medicare Use Among Veterans With Diabetes
INTRODUCTION: VA and Medicare use among older Veterans has been considered fragmented care, however, it may represent access to needed care. METHODS: The population studied were Veterans with diabetes, age 66 years and older, dually enrolled in VA and Medicare. DATA SOURCE/STUDY SETTING: We conducted a dynamic retrospective cohort study with 2008, 2009, and 2010 as the outcome years (Ambulatory Care Sensitive Conditions Hospitalization (ACSC-H) o…
Opioid overdose knowledge among college students in a high overdose death state
University students' knowledge suggests that previous exposure to opioid prescriptions and naloxone training increase a student's knowledge about opioid overdose. This information is not surprising; however, this does make the case that students may benefit from brief overdose education programs that could be implemented across university health education curricula. However, a larger effort may need to be implemented to encourage students to part…
Impact of mindful self-care and perceived stress on the health related quality of life among young-adult students in West Virginia
There are substantial gaps in research on Health Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) in students aged 18 and above in West Virginia. The purpose of this study is to explore the associations between mindful self-care, perceived stress, and the HRQoL in this population. We conducted a cross-sectional study between March and April 2017. We included participants who were students, aged 18 years and above, living in West Virginia and were able to answer o…
Alzheimer Disease and Related Disorders and Out-of-Pocket Health Care Spending and Burden Among Elderly Medicare Beneficiaries
OBJECTIVE: To estimate the excess burden of out-of-pocket health care spending associated with Alzheimer disease and related disorders (ADRD) among older individuals (age 65 y and older). METHODS: We adopted a retrospective, cross-sectional study design with data from 2012 Medicare Current Beneficiary Survey. The study sample comprised of elderly community-dwelling individuals who had positive total health care expenditures, and enrolled in Medic…
Effect of Pediatric Influenza on Caregivers’ Burden—A Literature Review
Influenza, or the flu, is a common and potentially serious infection that disproportionally affects children with more than 20,000 yearly hospitalizations in children under the age of 5. A literature review of the caregiver burden associated with pediatric influenza was conducted. Two main types of burdens were identified: economic and noneconomic. Flu treatment costs $3,990 for pediatric inpatients services and $730 for emergency department (ED)…
Parents' Expectations to Receive Antibiotic Prescriptions for Children
The objective of this study was to evaluate whether parents’ level of expectations would change after manipulating their perceived barriers to visiting doctors without any expectations for antibiotic prescriptions and their perceived benefits of using antibiotics. A prospective experimental study was conducted using a data-collection instrument to manipulate perceived barriers and perceived benefits using four scenarios. Scenarios were developed …
