Prevalence of Race/Ethnicity Reporting in Light Chain (AL) Amyloidosis Clinical Research in the USA
Can Regionalization of Care Reduce Socioeconomic Disparities in Breast Cancer Survival
Regionalization of early breast cancer care away from low-volume centers may improve outcomes and reduce SES disparities in survival
Racial Disparities in Incidence and Outcomes Among Patients With Covid-19
Importance: Initial public health data show that Black race may be a risk factor for worse outcomes of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Objective: To characterize the association of race with incidence and outcomes of COVID-19, while controlling for age, sex, socioeconomic status, and comorbidities. Design, Setting, and Participants: This cross-sectional study included 2595 consecutive adults tested for COVID-19 from March 12 to March 31, 202…
Music-instruction intervention for treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder

Prevalence and Consequences of Axillary Lymph Node Dissection in the Era of Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy for Breast Cancer
BACKGROUND: Despite clear guidelines for its use and wide adoption, no population-based study has examined the extent to which patients with early stage breast cancer are benefiting from sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) by being spared a potentially avoidable axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) and its associated morbidity. OBJECTIVE: Examine variation in type of axillary surgery performed by surgeon volume; investigate the extent and conseque…
Socioeconomic Disparities in Mortality Among Women With Incident Breast Cancer Before and After Implementation of Medicare Part D
BACKGROUND: Breast cancer patients exhibit survival disparities based on socioeconomic status (SES). Disparities may be attributable to access to expensive oral endocrine agents. OBJECTIVES: Define recent socioeconomic disparities in breast cancer survival and determine whether these improved after implementation of the Medicare Part D program. DESIGN: Difference-in-difference natural experiment of women diagnosed and treated before or after impl…
Harmonizing Measures of Cognitive Performance Across International Surveys of Aging Using Item Response Theory
IRT offers a feasible strategy for harmonizing cognitive performance measures across other surveys and for other multi-item constructs of interest in studies of aging. Practical implications depend on sample distribution and the difficulty mix of in-common and survey-specific items
Reexamining the Relationship of Breast Cancer Hospital and Surgical Volume to Mortality
OBJECTIVE: To reexamine the relationship of hospital and surgical volume to all-cause and breast cancer-specific mortality, taking into account the potential selection bias in patients treated at high-volume centers or by high-volume surgeons. DATA SOURCES: Elderly (65+) women with early-stage, incident breast cancer surgery in 2003. STUDY DESIGN: A population-based, prospective survey study. METHODS: Two-stage, instrumental variable regression m…
Bargaining Power, Parental Caregiving, and Intergenerational Coresidence
Meeting the needs of the growing elderly population while maintaining them in the community is a particular focus of long-term care policy. To the extent that shared living is an important component of such care, the observed sensitivity of non-resident children's caregiving efforts has implications for the well-being of both disabled parents and their coresiding adult children
Complex Families and Late-Life Outcomes Among Elderly Persons
The authors examined the effects of marital status and family structure on disability, institutionalization, and longevity for a nationally representative sample of elderly persons using Gompertz duration models applied to longitudinal data from 3 cohorts of the Health and Retirement Study (N = 11,481). They found that parents with only stepchildren have worse outcomes than parents with only biological children. Elderly mothers with only stepchil…
Measurement Equivalence in ADL and Iadl Difficulty Across International Surveys of Aging
Testing and adjusting for DIF is one means of minimizing measurement error in cross-national survey comparisons. IRT methods were used to evaluate potential measurement bias in disability comparisons across three international surveys of aging. The analysis also suggested DIF was mitigated for scales including both ADL and IADL and that summary indexes (counts of limitations) likely underestimate mean disability in these international populations
Stability and Changes in Living Arrangements
Results suggest that stability of living arrangements in and of itself is not protective against institutionalization. Having options that allow one to change living arrangements over time in response to changing needs for assistance is of importance if the goal is to avoid institutional care or extend community residence prior to entry
Parental Marital Disruption, Family Type, and Transfers to Disabled Elderly Parents
The findings that transfers from adult children to their unpartnered disabled elderly parents depend on parental marital status and kin relationship suggest that changing family patterns are altering the traditional role of the family as a support network. These findings raise concerns about the care likely to be available to future cohorts of elderly persons who will have experienced substantially higher rates of divorce, remarriage, and step pa…
Potential and Active Family Caregivers
Informal family care giving has been a traditional mainstay of care for the frail elderly. As the Baby Boomers approach retirement and old age, it is not clear that society can continue to rely on informal arrangements. The 1984 and 1994 National Long Term Care Surveys were used as sources for examining changes over a decade in the population of chronically disabled elderly, their sources of care, and the characteristics of family caregivers. The…
Intergenerational Household Formation, Female Labor Supply and Informal Caregiving

Parental marital disruption and intergenerational transfers
Although one of the most marked demographic trends observed over the twentieth century is the increased rate of divorce, relatively little research has explored the effects of these changing marital patterns in the context of an aging society. Using a sample of lone elderly parents and their adult children, we analyze the direct and indirect effects of marital disruption on four important dimensions of intergenerational transfers: coresidence, fi…
