Work like a Doc
BACKGROUND: Medical residents work long, continuous hours. Working in conditions of extreme fatigue has adverse effects on the quality and safety of care, and on residents' quality of life. Many countries have attempted to regulate residents' work hours. OBJECTIVES: We aimed to review residents' work hours regulations in different countries with an emphasis on night shifts. METHODS: Standardized qualitative data on residents' working hours were c…

Gender affirming hormone therapy dosing behaviors among transgender and nonbinary adults
Gender-affirming hormones have been shown to improve psychological functioning and quality of life among transgender and nonbinary (trans) people, yet, scant research exists regarding whether and why individuals take more or less hormones than prescribed. Drawing on survey data from 379 trans people who were prescribed hormones, we utilized multivariable logistic regression models to identify factors associated with hormone-dosing behaviors and c…
Homelessness and Veteran Status in Relation to Nonfatal and Fatal Opioid Overdose in Massachusetts
BACKGROUND: Compared with non-Veterans, Veterans are at higher risk of experiencing homelessness, which is associated with opioid overdose. OBJECTIVE: To understand how homelessness and Veteran status are related to risks of nonfatal and fatal opioid overdose in Massachusetts. DESIGN: A cross-sectional study. PARTICIPANTS: All residents aged 18 years and older during 2011-2015 in the Massachusetts Department of Public Health's Data Warehouse (Vet…
Beyond Gender Identity Disorder Diagnoses Codes
BACKGROUND: Large administrative databases often do not capture gender identity data, limiting researchers' ability to identify transgender people and complicating the study of this population. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to develop methods for identifying transgender people in a large, national dataset for insured adults. RESEARCH DESIGN: This was a retrospective analysis of administrative claims data. After using gender identity …
Opioid overdose deaths and potentially inappropriate opioid prescribing practices (PIP)
Overdose and PIP hotspots were identified, as well as regions where the two overlapped, and where they diverged. Results indicate that PIP clustering alone does not explain overdose clustering patterns. Our findings can inform public health policy decisions at the local level, which include a focus on PIP and misuse of heroin and fentanyl that aim to curb opioid overdoses
Feasibility of Distinguishing Performance Among Provider Groups Using Patient-reported Outcome Measures in Older Adults With Multiple Chronic Conditions
OBJECTIVE: To examine minimum sample sizes and follow-up times required for patient-reported outcome-based performance measures (PMs) to achieve acceptable reliability as PMs. PARTICIPANTS: We used 2 groups of patients age 65+ with at least 2 of 13 chronic conditions. The first was a sample of Medicare Advantage beneficiaries, who reported health-related quality of life (HRQoL) at baseline and 2 years. The second was a sample of primary care pati…
Use of testosterone in men infected with human immunodeficiency virus in the veterans healthcare system
Testosterone supplementation has been widely used in those infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) for hypogonadism, and wasting. But with effective antiretroviral therapy and increasing recognition of atherosclerotic disease and adults infected with HIV, the risks of inappropriate testosterone use in HIV-infected patients are far better recognized than previously. Testosterone use has expanded among U.S. males, but few studies have exam…
Adapting summary scores for the PROMIS-29 v2.0 for use among older adults with multiple chronic conditions
Ascertainment of Testosterone Prescribing Practices in the VA
BACKGROUND: Prescribing of exogenous testosterone is increasing. Because of the risks associated with testosterone, it is important to follow evidence-based procedures when initiating therapy. OBJECTIVE: We evaluated whether dispensing of testosterone was preceded by appropriate ascertainment of androgen deficiency, and consideration of potential contraindications, in accordance with practice guidelines. RESEARCH DESIGN: A cross-sectional study. …
The Influence of Black Race on Treatment and Mortality for Early-Stage Breast Cancer
BACKGROUND: Black Americans have higher mortality from breast cancer than white Americans. This study explores the influence of socioeconomic factors and black race on treatment and mortality for early-stage breast cancer. METHODS: A cohort of 21,848 female black and white, non-Hispanic subjects from the Massachusetts Cancer Registry diagnosed with stage I or II breast cancer between 1999-2004 was studied. Subjects with tumors larger than 5 cm we…
Predictors of Aggressive Therapy for Nonmetastatic Prostate Carcinoma in Massachusetts From 1998 to 2002
BACKGROUND: Most studies have found that black men are less likely to receive aggressive therapy for nonmetastatic prostate cancer, even after controlling for covariates. However, previous studies have not accounted for the clustering of outcomes by facility. OBJECTIVE: We sought to compare the proportions of black and white men receiving aggressive therapy for newly diagnosed nonmetastatic prostate cancer between 1998 and 2002, accounting for th…
