The contextual influence of coal abandoned mine lands in communities and type 2 diabetes in Pennsylvania
Postdischarge Monitoring Using Interactive Voice Response System Reduces 30-Day Readmission Rates in a Case-managed Medicare Population
BACKGROUND: Automated home monitoring systems have been used to coordinate care to improve patient outcomes and reduce rehospitalizations, but with little formal study of efficacy. The Geisinger Monitoring Program (GMP) interactive voice response protocol is a post-hospital discharge telemonitoring system used as an adjunct to existing case management in a primary care Medicare population to reduce emergency department visits and hospital readmis…

Prediction Modeling Using EHR Data: Challenges, Strategies, and a Comparison of Machine Learning Approaches
BACKGROUND: Electronic health record (EHR) databases contain vast amounts of information about patients. Machine learning techniques such as Boosting and support vector machine (SVM) can potentially identify patients at high risk for serious conditions, such as heart disease, from EHR data. However, these techniques have not yet been widely tested. OBJECTIVE: To model detection of heart failure more than 6 months before the actual date of clinica…
Prevalence of self-reported diagnosis of diabetes mellitus and associated risk factors in a national survey in the US population: SHIELD (Study to Help Improve Early evaluation and management of risk …
The SHIELD design allowed for a very large, community-based sample with broad demographic representation of the population of interest. When comparing results from the SHIELD screening survey (self-report only) to those from NHANES 1999-2002 (self-report, clinical and laboratory evaluations), the prevalence of diabetes was similar. SHIELD allows the identification of respondents with and without a current diagnosis of the illness of interest, and…
Cost of Lost Productive Work Time Among US Workers With Depression
CONTEXT: Evidence consistently indicates that depression has adversely affected work productivity. Estimates of the cost impact in lost labor time in the US workforce, however, are scarce and dated. OBJECTIVE: To estimate the impact of depression on labor costs (ie, work absence and reduced performance while at work) in the US workforce. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: All employed individuals who participated in the American Productivity Audi…

The Effects of Preclinical Dementia on Estimates of Normal Cognitive Functioning in Aging
Individuals with preclinical dementia have begun to decline cognitively, but still perform within normal limits on cognitive testing. As a group, subjects with preclinical dementia have lower scores on neuropsychological tests than their dementia-free counterparts. This study examines the effects of preclinical dementia on estimates of normal cognitive function in the aged using data from a longitudinal study. Individuals with preclinical dementi…
Long-term psychosocial work environment and cardiovascular mortality among Swedish men
OBJECTIVES. This study examined the effect of cumulative exposure to work organization--psychological demands, work control, and social support on prospectively measured cardiovascular disease mortality risk. METHODS. The source population was a national sample of 12517 subjects selected from the Swedish male population by Statistics Sweden in annual surveys between 1977 and 1981. Over a 14-year follow-up period, 521 deaths from cardiovascular di…
Gender differences in the experience of headache
Since 1940 numerous studies have shown that women report higher rates of symptoms, illness, disability and medical care utilization than men. The present analysis addresses gender differences in headache, with a focus on symptom frequency and associated pain and duration of each subject's most recent headache attack experienced within 4 weeks of interview. A random sample of 10,167 Washington County, Maryland residents (ages 12-29 years) were adm…
Migraine headaches and panic attacks
Migraine headache and panic attacks are two common conditions which first occur at an early age and appear to have a number of underlying physiologic abnormalities in common. In a population-based telephone interview survey examining headache occurrence in approximately 10,000 subjects, 12-29 years old, we assessed the prevalence of panic disorder (and a less severe entity designated as panic syndrome) using an abbreviated version of the National…
