  • Shifting Priorities

    Carolin Hagelskamp, Rebecca Silliman et al.ARTICLENew Political Science2020Citada por: 7

    In participatory budgeting (PB), residents instead of public officials decide how public money is spent. PB may reveal that residents prioritize different investments than public officials, which could lead to more socially just spending. However, little research has examined whether and how PB shifts spending priorities. This study leverages publicly available records on New York City council districts’ capital project allocations over ten years…

  • Impact of Acquired Comorbidities on All-Cause Mortality Rates Among Older Breast Cancer Survivors

    Thomas P Ahern, Timothy L Lash et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2009Referencias: 23

    BACKGROUND: Breast cancer survivors with higher numbers of comorbidities at the time of primary treatment suffer higher rates of all-cause mortality than comparatively healthier survivors. The effect of time-varying comorbidity status on mortality in breast cancer survivors, however, has not been well investigated. OBJECTIVE: We examined longitudinal comorbidity in a cohort of women treated for primary breast cancer to determine whether accountin…

    Karim Malek, Aliza K Fink et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2004Referencias: 18

    OBJECTIVES: The objectives of this study were to determine whether tamoxifen recommendation differs by physician specialty, to determine whether perception affects tamoxifen recommendation, and to investigate the association between the physician's specialty and the perception of risks and benefits of tamoxifen. METHODS: We enrolled a cohort of geographically diverse women aged 65 and older with stage I through IIIa breast cancer in a prospective…

  • Measuring Patientsʼ Perceptions of the Outcomes of Treatment for Early Prostate Cancer

    Jack A Clark, Barbara G Bokhour et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2003Referencias: 39

    BACKGROUND: Compared with careful attention to the physical (eg, urinary, bowel, sexual) dysfunction that may follow treatment, little attention has been given to the behavioral, emotional, and interpersonal changes that the diagnosis of early prostate cancer and subsequent physical dysfunction may bring. OBJECTIVE: To construct patient-centered measures of the outcomes of treatment for early prostate cancer. RESEARCH DESIGN: Qualitative study fo…

  • Medical Surveillance After Breast Cancer Diagnosis

    Timothy L Lash, Rebecca A SillimanARTICLEMedical Care2001Referencias: 23

RESEARCH DESIGN: 303 stage I or II breast cancer patients age 55-years or older and diagnosed at 1 of 5 Boston hospitals. Patient interviews and medical record abstracts provided the data to characterize patient demographics, the breast cancer stage and…

    Jerry H Gurwitz, Edward Guadagnoli et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2001Referencias: 6

    BACKGROUND: Institutional Review Boards vary in regard to the conditions imposed on investigators concerning contacting potential subjects to participate in health-services research studies. OBJECTIVE: The impact of more active involvement of the treating physician was examined in the approval process for recruiting study subjects. DESIGN: In recruiting subjects for a Massachusetts-based, multihospital (n = 17), health-services research study of …

  • Comparison of Interview-Based and Medical-Record Based Indices of Comorbidity Among Breast Cancer Patients

    Rebecca A Silliman, Timothy L LashARTICLEMedical Care1999Referencias: 19

    OBJECTIVES: To compare patient interview-based and medical-record based measures of comorbidity and their relation to primary tumor therapy, all cause mortality, self-reported upper body function, and overall physical function. METHODS: Three-hundred and three breast cancer patients (> or = 55 years) who were diagnosed in 1 of 5 Boston hospitals were enrolled. Patient interviews and medical record abstracts provided the information necessary to c…

  • The Care of Older Women With Early-Stage Breast Cancer

    Rebecca A Silliman, Serkalem Demissie et al.ARTICLEMedical Care1999Referencias: 36

    BACKGROUND: Over the past decade and a half, a substantial literature has documented age-dependent variations in breast cancer care. Accumulating evidence suggests that these variations impact the health outcomes of older women with breast cancer. Surgeon gender may be an important source of age-dependent variations in care. OBJECTIVE: To examine the relationship between surgeon gender and primary tumor therapy and systemic adjuvant therapy among…

  • The outcomes of patients newly admitted to nursing homes after hip fracture

    Douglas P Kiel, Ann Eichorn et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health1994Citada por: 4Referencias: 17

    OBJECTIVES. The outcomes of elderly, hospitalized patients discharged to nursing homes after hip fracture were examined. METHODS. For 2624 hip fracture patients admitted to any of 43 proprietary nursing homes between 1984 and 1988, admission assessments were examined in relation to 1-month outcomes. RESULTS. Mean patient age was 82 +/- 7 y; 85% of the sample were female. Within 1 month after discharge, 24% had returned home, 12% had been rehospit…
