Vaccination for Covid-19 among historically underserved Latino communities in the United States: Perspectives of community health workers
A critical step to reduce the spread of COVID-19 is vaccination. We conducted a mixed methods project that used online surveys and focus groups with 64 Community Health Workers and Promotor/as (CHW/Ps) located near the U.S.-Mexico border to identify barriers and facilitators to COVID-19 vaccination among Latino communities that have been historically underrepresented and medically underserved. Overall, personal barriers to vaccination included mi…
The Virtual CTSA Visiting Scholar Program to Support Early-Stage Clinical and Translational Researchers: Implementation and Outcomes
In addition to restrictions on conducting research, COVID-19-related travel bans and scientific meeting cancellations have negatively affected scholars in the Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) Mentored Career Development Award (KL2) program. In response, a national virtual visiting scholar program was developed to provide opportunity for KL2 scholars to be virtual visiting professors at another CTSA hub, meet faculty and scholars, a…
Covid‐19 diagnostic testing among underserved Latino communities: Barriers and facilitators
In the U.S., Latinos are disproportionately affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. A critical step to reduce the spread of COVID-19 is diagnostic testing. Yet, for testing to be effective, barriers must be reduced or eliminated and facilitators promoted. Guided by principles of community-based participatory research, we collected data from 64 community health workers and Promotor/as (CHW/Ps) in Texas to identify relevant personal, community-level, an…

Variations in Self-Rated Health Among Patients with HIV Infection
Health Values of Patients Coinfected With HIV/Hepatitis C: Are Two Viruses Worse Than One
OBJECTIVES: We sought to assess health values of patients coinfected with HIV/hepatitis C (HCV) and compare them with those of patients singly infected with HIV or HCV and to characterize and assess the relationship of clinical and nonhealth-related factors with health values. SUBJECTS: We studied a total of 203 subjects infected with HIV, HCV, or both. MEASURES: We assessed rating scale (RS), time tradeoff (TTO), and standard gamble (SG) values,…
Religio-Biography, Coping, and Meaning-Making Among Persons with HIV/Aids
Recently, quality of life studies among patients with HIV/AIDS have shown high levels of life satisfaction. Spiritual and religious factors may contribute to these positive outcomes. We interviewed 19 patients with HIV/AIDS in order to understand better the role of religious-spiritual biographies and orientations in quality of life, and found four patterns to describe the ways in which past experiences with religion/spirituality and religious/spi…

Impact of Different Measures of Comorbid Disease on Predicted Mortality of Intensive Care Unit Patients
BACKGROUND: Valid comparison of patient survival across ICUs requires adjustment for burden of chronic illness. The optimal measure of comorbidity in this setting remains uncertain. OBJECTIVES: To examine the impact of different measures of comorbid disease on predicted mortality for ICU patients. DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study. SUBJECTS: Seventeen thousand eight hundred ninety-three veterans from 17 geographically diverse VA Medical Centers …

Use of chart reminders for physicians to promote discussion of advance directives in patients with Aids
To determine if use of a physician chart reminder improves the rate of physician-initiated discussion and subsequent completion of advance directives (ADs) in patients with AIDS, a controlled study was conducted with 74 patients with AIDS and ten physicians providing primary care at a university-based hospital clinic. Chart reminders were placed on medical records of intervention patients at each primary care clinic visit for six months. Twelve o…
Heterogeneity in the Relationship Between the Time Tradeoff and Short Form-36 for HIV-Infected and Primary Care Patients
OBJECTIVES: Evidence in the literature suggests that the overall correlation between descriptive and valuational measures of health are weak to moderate. In this study, the relationship between descriptive health status measures, obtained using the Short-Form 36, and health values, measured with the time tradeoff, was explored. METHODS: Two groups of patients matched for age and gender were interviewed. One group comprised 139 human immunodeficie…
Health Values of Patients Infected with Human Immunodeficiency Virus: Relationship to Mental Health and Physical Functioning
To assess the health values of patients infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and examine the relationships between their health values and health status at two points in time, the authors sought to determine whether patients' physical and mental health statuses were good predictors of how they valued their current state of health. One hundred thirty-nine patients with various stages of HIV infection were interviewed in a prospective c…

Cost-effectiveness of antibiotic prophylaxis for dental procedures in patients with artificial joints
We performed a cost-effectiveness analysis to evaluate whether patients with artificial joints should take penicillin, erythromycin, or no antibiotics before dental procedures. We modeled the risk of anaphylaxis from penicillin, the risks and consequences of an artificial joint infection, and the actual variable costs of hospitalization and antibiotics. Penicillin prophylaxis is slightly less expensive than erythromycin prophylaxis but is both mo…

Toward a Peer Review Process for Medical Decision Analysis Models
This paper presents a framework for a peer review process for medical decision analysis models. This framework is based on the collective experience of the members of the Inter-PORT Decision Modeling work group, a team of decision analysis experts comprising members from each of the Patient Outcomes Research Teams (PORTs), sponsored by the Agency for Health Care Policy and Research. Important general principles of correct model structure include …
