Do the unlabeled response categories of the Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire satisfy the monotonicity assumption of simple-summated scoring
Recommendations for Conduct, Methodological Practices, and Reporting of Cost-effectiveness Analyses
IMPORTANCE: Since publication of the report by the Panel on Cost-Effectiveness in Health and Medicine in 1996, researchers have advanced the methods of cost-effectiveness analysis, and policy makers have experimented with its application. The need to deliver health care efficiently and the importance of using analytic techniques to understand the clinical and economic consequences of strategies to improve health have increased in recent years.

Measuring the impact of cataract surgery on generic and vision-specific quality of life
Development and validation of a mental health subscale from the Quality of Well-Being Self-Administered
Social desirability does not confound reports of wellbeing or of socio-demographic attributes by older women
This study assesses the relationship of social desirability response bias with self-reported physical, mental and cognitive health, successful ageing, and socio-demographic attributes among 1,860 older women at the University of California, San Diego's Clinical Center for the Women's Health Initiative and the Sam and Rose Stein Institute for Research on Aging. The women were aged between 57 and 91 years and lived in the San Diego community. Measu…
US Norms for Six Generic Health-Related Quality-of-Life Indexes From the National Health Measurement Study
BACKGROUND: A number of indexes measuring self-reported generic health-related quality-of-life (HRQoL) using preference-weighted scoring are used widely in population surveys and clinical studies in the United States. OBJECTIVE: To obtain age-by-gender norms for older adults on 6 generic HRQoL indexes in a cross-sectional US population survey and compare age-related trends in HRQoL. METHODS: The EuroQol EQ-5D, Health Utilities Index Mark 2, Healt…

Hysterectomy status, estrogen use and quality of life in older women
Diagnostic and Treatment Decisions in US Healthcare
The practice of medicine links diagnosis to treatment. However, for many diagnosed conditions diagnosis and treatment may not affect health outcome. Examples include low-grade cancers that do not influence life expectancy or quality of life. Further, there is considerable uncertainty about the point along a biologic continuum where treatment should begin. Changes in diagnostic thresholds often increase healthcare costs even though the benefit of …
Outcomes, Safety, and Resource Utilization in a Collaborative Care Birth Center Program Compared With Traditional Physician-Based Perinatal Care
Objective. We compared outcomes, safety, and resource utilization in a collaborative management birth center model of perinatal care versus traditional physician-based care. Methods. We studied 2957 low-risk, low-income women: 1808 receiving collaborative care and 1149 receiving traditional care. Results. Major antepartum (adjusted risk difference [RD] = −0.5%; 95% confidence interval [CI] = −2.5, 1.5), intrapartum (adjusted RD = 0.8%; 95% CI = −…
The Medicaid Rx Model
BACKGROUND: Risk adjustment models typically use diagnoses from claims or encounter records to assess illness severity. However, concerns about the availability and reliability of diagnostic data raise the potential for alternative methods of risk adjustment. Here, we explore the use of pharmacy data as an alternative or complement to diagnostic data in risk adjustment. OBJECTIVES: To develop and test a pharmacy-based risk adjustment model for SS…

Clustering of atherogenic behaviors in coffee drinkers
We studied the clustering of coffee consumption and selected atherogenic behaviors in older adults living in a southern California community. Men were somewhat more likely to drink caffeinated coffee while women were more likely to drink decaffeinated coffee. In men, but not women, caffeinated coffee drinking decreased with age and decaffeinated coffee drinking increased. Caffeinated coffee drinkers drank more alcohol, consumed more dietary satur…
