Duration of Bisphosphonate Drug Holidays and Associated Fracture Risk
BACKGROUND: Discontinuation of bisphosphonates (BP) or a "drug holiday" after several years of treatment is increasingly common. However, the association of drug holiday duration with future fracture risk is unclear. OBJECTIVES: We evaluated the rate of fracture in relation to various lengths of drug holidays among women receiving long-term BP therapy. RESEARCH DESIGN: Observational cohort study using US Medicare data 2006-2016. Incidence rates (…
Building global partnerships through shared curricula for an MPH programme in India and Sri Lanka
This is the most comprehensive skill-based MPH programme in the region, which positions each institution as a regional leader in public health training. The success of the programme has been amply demonstrated by placements of graduated MPH students in leadership roles in public, private and academic sectors within their countries
Accuracy of Medicare Claim–based Algorithm to Detect Breast, Prostate, or Lung Cancer Bone Metastases
BACKGROUND: We had previously developed an algorithm for Medicare claims data to detect bone metastases associated with breast, prostate, or lung cancer. This study was conducted to examine whether this algorithm accurately documents bone metastases on the basis of diagnosis codes in Medicare claims data. METHODS: We obtained data from Medicare claims and electronic medical records of patients 65 years or older with a breast, prostate, or lung ca…
Trends in the Utilization and Outcomes of Medicare Patients Hospitalized for Hip Fracture, 2000-2008
Hip fractures remain highly debilitating events and pose significant challenges for the financing of public health insurance programs
Placebo Adherence, Clinical Outcomes, and Mortality in the Women's Health Initiative Randomized Hormone Therapy Trials
BACKGROUND: Medication adherence may be a proxy for healthy behaviors and other factors that affect outcomes. Prior studies of the association between placebo adherence and health outcomes have been limited primarily to men enrolled in clinical trials and cardiovascular disease outcomes. We examined associations between adherence to placebo and the risk of fracture, coronary heart disease, cancer, and all-cause mortality in the 2 Women's Health I…
The Effect of Uncertainty in Exposure Estimation on the Exposure-Response Relation between 1,3-Butadiene and Leukemia
In a follow-up study of mortality among North American synthetic rubber industry workers, cumulative exposure to 1,3-butadiene was positively associated with leukemia. Problems with historical exposure estimation, however, may have distorted the association. To evaluate the impact of potential inaccuracies in exposure estimation, we conducted uncertainty analyses of the relation between cumulative exposure to butadiene and leukemia. We created th…
Determinants of low birth weight in urban Pakistan
Objective To identify determinants of low birth weight (LBW) in Karachi, Pakistan, including environmental exposures and nutritional status of the mother during pregnancy. Design Cross-sectional study. Participants Five hundred and forty mother–infant pairs. We interviewed mothers about obstetric history, diet and exposure to Pb. We measured birth weight and blood lead level (BLL). We performed multiple log binomial regression analysis to identif…
Improving the Prediction of Medication Compliance
INTRODUCTION: Administrative claims data have a limited ability to identify persons with high compliance to oral bisphosphonates. We tested whether adding information on compliance with other drugs used to treat chronic, asymptomatic conditions would improve the predictive ability of administrative data to identify adherent individuals. METHODS: Using data from a large, US healthcare organization, we identified new bisphosphonate users and their …
Adaptation of Bayesian Data Mining Algorithms to Longitudinal Claims Data
INTRODUCTION: Bayesian data mining methods have been used to evaluate drug safety signals from adverse event reporting systems and allow for evaluation of multiple endpoints that are not prespecified. Their adaptation for use with longitudinal data such as administrative claims has not been previously evaluated or validated. METHODS: In this pilot study, we evaluated the feasibility of adapting data mining methods using the empirical Bayes Multi-…
Socioeconomic status and risk of multiple myeloma
A case control study was conducted to test the hypothesis that socioeconomic status is positively associated with multiple myeloma incidence. One hundred and fifty-three myeloma cases and 459 controls were identified at the Duke University Medical Center at Durham, North Carolina. Study members were interviewed regarding indicators of socioeconomic status. The association of myeloma with family income (current and highest), education, occupation,…
