A Laudable Spirit of Enterprise”
In the wake of the American Revolution, Long Island farmers faced severe intertwined environmental and economic crises. Amidst on-going Indian removals and the gradual manumission of enslaved African workers, the region’s land and labor resources were also in flux. Deeply concerned about the region’s declining productivity, Ezra L’Hommedieu (1734–1811), a gentleman farmer and advocate of modern agronomy on Long Island’s East End, sought to promot…
Proactive and Reactive Aggression in Referred Children and Adolescents
Investigating different types of aggression is important to facilitate a better understanding of excessive maladaptive aggression in referred youth. Using regression analysis, the authors investigated demographic, historical, diagnostic, and treatment correlates of proactive aggression and reactive aggression in a heterogeneous population (N = 323) of psychiatrically referred youths. Ratings of proactive and reactive aggression significantly corr…

Applying Diagnostic Cost Groups to Examine the Disease Burden of VA Facilities
OBJECTIVES: To compare the disease burden of Veterans Health Administration (VA) patients at six study sites with all other VA patients and the Medicare population. DESIGN: A 60% random sample of all VA veteran patients during federal fiscal year 1997 was obtained from administrative databases. A split-sample technique provided a 40% sample (n = 1,046,803) for development and a 20% sample (n = 524,461) for validation. We selected the six study si…

Evaluating Diagnosis-Based Case-Mix Measures
BACKGROUND: Diagnosis-based case-mix measures are increasingly used for provider profiling, resource allocation, and capitation rate setting. Measures developed in one setting may not adequately capture the disease burden in other settings. OBJECTIVES: To examine the feasibility of adapting two such measures, Adjusted Clinical Groups (ACGs) and Diagnostic Cost Groups (DCGs), to the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) population. RESEARCH DESIGN: …
Health Care Reorganization and Quality of Care
BACKGROUND: Health care reorganizations, with a change in focus from inpatient to outpatient care, are becoming increasingly frequent. Little is known regarding how reorganizations may affect risk-adjusted outcomes for those programs, usually inpatient, that lose resources as a result of the change in organizational focus. OBJECTIVES: To determine changes in risk-adjusted rates of pressure ulcer development over an 8-year period, the final 3 of w…
Reducing Random Variation in Reported Rates of Pressure Ulcer Development
OBJECTIVES: The authors evaluated methods of reporting on rates of pressure ulcer development in long-term care to identify approaches that lead to more stable estimates of actual performance. METHODS: Performance measures for facilities that adequately adjust for both random variation and casemix should be relatively stable from one time period to the next. The authors calculated facility rates of pressure ulcer development over eight consecutiv…
The effects of specific medical conditions on the functional limitations of elders in the Framingham Study
OBJECTIVES. The purpose of this study was to identify associations between specific medical conditions in the elderly and limitations in functional tasks; to compare risks of disability across medical conditions, controlling for age, sex, and comorbidity; and to determine the proportion of disability attributable to each condition. METHODS. The subjects were 709 noninstitutionalized men and 1060 women of the Framingham Study cohort (mean age 73.7…

Defining arthritis and measuring functional status in elders
This study explores the degree to which the association of knee osteoarthritis with physical disability changes with different definitions of osteoarthritis in 1,416 Framingham Study elders. When all categories of radiographic osteoarthritis were aggregated into a single "arthritis" variable and dependence upon human assistance in one or more functional activities combined into a single variable, elders with osteoarthritis had only moderately inc…
Effect Sizes for Interpreting Changes in Health Status
Health status measures are being used with increasing frequency in clinical research. Up to now the emphasis has been on the reliability and validity of these measures. Less attention has been given to the sensitivity of these measures for detecting clinical change. As health status measures are applied more frequently in the clinical setting, we need a useful way to estimate and communicate whether particular changes in health status are clinica…
The stability of health status in rheumatoid arthritis
We employed a health status measure to describe the outcomes of rheumatoid arthritis patients over five years. Of the 410 rheumatoid arthritis patients who were originally administered the Arthritis Impact Measurement Scales (AIMS), 299 completed a follow-up five years later. Data were analyzed using nine health status scales, three components of health status, and an overall arthritis impact item. Results for survivors indicated that there were …
