Using Inverse Probability-Weighted Estimators in Comparative Effectiveness Analyses With Observational Databases
Inverse probability-weighted estimation is a powerful tool for use with observational data. In this article, we describe how this propensity score-based method can be used to compare the effectiveness of 2 or more treatments. First, we discuss the inherent problems in using observational data to assess comparative effectiveness. Next, we provide a conceptual explanation of inverse probability-weighted estimation and point readers to sources that …
The Insurance Effect on Prescription Drug Expenditures Among the Elderly
BACKGROUND: Despite continuing debate over a prescription drug benefit for the Medicare program, there has been relatively little research estimating the potential cost of providing such a benefit. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to estimate the effect of prescription drug insurance on outpatient prescription drug expenditures among the elderly. RESEARCH DESIGN: We studied respondents aged > or =65 years to the 1997 Medical Expenditure…
Assessing the Clinical and Economic Burden of Coronary Artery Disease
BACKGROUND: The acute phase of coronary artery disease (CAD) is dramatic and receives much attention because of its high mortality and associated treatment cost. However, the acute phase typically resolves within 30 days whereas CAD is a chronic disease, which most patients will live with for more than a decade. We compared the clinical and economic burden of CAD during the acute phase (first 30 days) with that in the postacute phase (31st day th…
