  • Risk Adjustment for Health Care Financing in Chronic Disease: What Are We Missing By Failing to Account for Disease Severity

    Theodore A Omachi, Steven E Gregorich et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2013References: 14

    BACKGROUND: Adjustment for differing risks among patients is usually incorporated into newer payment approaches, and current risk models rely on age, sex, and diagnosis codes. It is unknown the extent to which controlling additionally for disease severity improves cost prediction. Failure to adjust for within-disease variation may create incentives to avoid sicker patients. We address this issue among patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary d…

  • Socioeconomic status, race and COPD health outcomes

    Mark D Eisner, Paul D Blanc et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2011Cited by: 5References: 62

    BACKGROUND: Although chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a common cause of death and disability, little is known about the effects of socioeconomic status (SES) and race-ethnicity on health outcomes. METHODS: The aim of this study is to determine the independent impacts of SES and race-ethnicity on COPD severity status, functional limitations and acute exacerbations of COPD among patients with access to healthcare. Data were used from…

  • Perceived Neighborhood Problems and Quality of Life, Physical Functioning, and Depressive Symptoms Among Adults With Asthma

    Irene H Yen, Edward H Yelin et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health2006Cited by: 9References: 66

    Objectives. We investigated associations between perceived neighborhood problems and quality of life (QOL), physical functioning, and depressive symptoms among adults with asthma. Methods. Using cross-sectional data from adults with asthma in northern California (n=435), we examined associations between 5 types of perceived neighborhood problems (traffic, noise, trash, smells, and fires) and asthma-specific QOL (Marks instrument), physical functi…

  • The Influence of Chronic Respiratory Conditions on Health Status and Work Disability

    Mark D Eisner, Edward H Yelin et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health2002Cited by: 2References: 32

    Objectives. This study examined the impact of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) on health status and work disability. Methods. We used data from a population-based sample of 3805 California adults. Results. Compared with adults with no chronic health conditions, adults with COPD or asthma had a greater risk of self-reported diminished general health (odds ratio [OR] = 10.95; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 6.31, 19.0 and OR =…

  • Assessment of Asthma Severity in Adults With Asthma Treated by Family Practitioners, Allergists, and Pulmonologists

    Mark D Eisner, Patricia P Katz et al.ARTICLEMedical Care1998References: 24

    OBJECTIVES: Accurate measurement of asthma severity is critical for research evaluating asthma health outcomes. There are, however, no widely accepted asthma severity measures. A severity-of-asthma score, which is based on self-reported information, was previously developed and validated in subjects recruited from pulmonary and allergy subspecialty practices. The purpose of this study was to validate the severity-of-asthma score in subjects treat…
