Trends and Comparisons of Utilization of Emergency Departments Due to Traumatic or Non-Traumatic Causes among the HIV-Positive Population in Taiwan, 2006–2011
It is important that the utilization of emergency departments (EDs) among people living with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) be epidemiologically evaluated in order to assess and improve the HIV care continuum. All participants newly-diagnosed with HIV in Taiwan registered in the National Health Insurance Database from 2000 to 2005 were enrolled in this study and followed-up from 2006 to 2011. In total, 3500 participants newly-diagnosed wi…
Prevalence and factors associated with HIV infection among injection drug users at methadone clinics in Taipei, Taiwan
Taiwanese IDUs at methadone clinics have a relatively high HIV prevalence, which was associated with younger age and history of overdose. It is imperative to educate IDUs' about HIV transmission, particularly for the younger and overdosed IDUs
Evaluating Item Discrimination Power of WHOQOL-BREF from an Item Response Model Perspectives
The Unexpected Influence of Physician Attributes on Clinical Decisions
UNLABELLED: This experiment was designed to determine: (1) whether patient attributes (specifically a patient's age, gender, race, and socioeconomic status) independently influence clinical decision-making; and (2) whether physician characteristics alone (such as their gender, age, race, and medical specialty), or in combination with patient attributes, influence medical decision-making. METHODS: An experiment was conducted in which 16 (= 2(4)) v…
Public Health Impact of Changes in Smoking Behavior
OBJECTIVES: The relative magnitude of the public health gains from preventing smoking initiation versus encouraging cessation or avoiding relapse in different ages and genders is estimated and compared. METHODS: Health gains are defined as the predicted increase in Quality-Adjusted Life-Years (QALYs) to the US population during a century. To estimate QALYs, we developed the Tobacco Policy Model. The model simulates a 10% reduction in the annual p…
A SAS Program for Testing the Statistical Significance of a Mediating Variable
This article describes a SAS/IML program that performs the significance test of the mediating variable in a three-variable relationship. In testing the mediating variable, the equality of two regression coefficients is tested
The costs and effects of cervical and breast cancer screening in a public hospital emergency room. The Cancer Control Center of Harlem
OBJECTIVES: This study assessed the cost-effectiveness of cervix and breast cancer screening in a public hospital emergency room. METHODS: Age-eligible women with nonurgent conditions and without recent screening were offered screening by a nurse. A decision analysis compared the costs and outcomes of emergency room screening and standard hospital screening efforts. RESULTS: The undiscounted cost-effectiveness results for establishing new program…
